$2.5M more for road projects

City engineers expect to use $2.5 million from Kyle’s general and utilities funds to supplement the $36 million road bond package approved by voters in May 2013 to ensure completion of five projects. 

Construction is underway for two of the five projects, Goforth Road and Bunton Creek, and are projected to reach completion this summer.

“We had to get some assistance from the general fund and the utility fund to make sure our projects were completed,” said City Engineer Leon Barba. “And we’re working with the contractor; we’re trying to give them the opportunity to speed these projects up, but at the same time we’re cautious about how we spend our money. “
