Pleasant Street Changes Ongoing

Although local drivers are used to the changing conditions on Pleasant Street, another change is happening people need to be aware of.

Pleasant Street is now closed between 13th and 16th streets. The closure is required to reconstruct and widen Pleasant Street to four lanes. It also includes reconstruction of the bridge over Wilson Drain.  When complete, these roadway improvements will reduce the potential for roadway flooding and allow Pleasant Street to be maintained as an emergency route.

In addition, there will be temporary closures of 19th Street and Pleasant Street in the coming weeks.

Indiana American Water will be relocating water lines near the intersection of 19th and Pleasant. The closures will not be concurrent. The 19th Street closure is wrapping up and is during work hours only. The street has been reopening each evening.

But Pleasant Street will be closed beginning next week and will not reopen until work is fully complete. 

Finally, as reported in The Times earlier, historical signage celebrating the history of the Plum Prairie neighborhood and Reverend Barney Stone was recently installed as part of the Reimagine Pleasant Street project.
