Questions raised regarding River Road changes

By Brian Hagen

(KAIR)--Changes made to Atchison’s River Road was the early focus of Monday’s meeting of the Atchison City Commission, with area residents voicing concerns about the road’s current condition. “I’d like to address the commission today on my displeasure with the riverfront development,” Gary Servaes, of Servaes Quarry, located at 4756 254th Rd said. “It has choked the truck traffic down to where it’s almost a dangerous issue. I’ve spent several thousands of dollars myself up there, trying to fix the potholes and stuff. I’ve visited the City several times. All I get is lip service.”

City Commissioner David Hausmann, during Commissioner comments at the meeting’s end, voiced his appreciation to those who made their concerns known. “Thank you for the great contribution you make to this community. It’s so vital. I appreciate the fact that you’re here tonight to voice concerns, going through the right process of doing so.”

Changes to River Road were made as part of the Atchison Riverfront Trail project, intended to double the length of the existing trail at the Atchison Riverfront.

According to Assistant Atchison City Manager Justin Pregont, completion of the project is likely in two to three weeks.
