COLLEGE PROPOSAL: Vote Grants Road Partition | Public Spaces

17 residents offered their opinions this week before the Indianola City Council voted on a proposal from Simpson College to close off a section of C Street.

The council voted 3-1 to close off a portion of North C Street between Clinton and Girard avenues, except for 174 feet in front of the Delta Delta Delta sorority house,705 N. C St.

Simpson College officials want to buy a stretch of North C Street from the city to construct a pedestrian mall and activities plaza leading up to the school’s new $14 million Kent Campus Center.
