City crews will be striping East LaHarpe Street, from South Franklin Street to South Baltimore Street, beginning at 9:00 am on Thursday, September 28. The new striping adds bike lanes on both sides of the street. The center turn lane will be eliminated for most of the roadway. With sidewalk already present on the north side of the street, this area can accommodate pedestrians, cyclists and motorists. These changes were a recommendation from a Traffic Engineering Assistance Program study performed by engineering firm and were approved by the Kirksville City Council. The changes are also in accordance with the Kirksville Active Mobility Plan, which guides the development of bike lanes, trails and sidewalks by emphasizing safety, health and interconnectivity. This work will last for approximately two hours. No lane closures are anticipated but drivers could experience delays during the painting and are encouraged to utilize alternate routes.
