Following the city administrator’s update at Monday’s Great Bend City Council meeting, councilmember Alan Moeder informed city officials of issues with the curb and gutter at the United States Postal Service.

Moeder said the curb on the east side of the post office has fallen apart.

"We need to look at it, at least that area," said Moeder. "I don't know what happened the last time we did it. They just tried to reform the upper part of the gutter and it didn't work. It's all popping out."

Moeder noted he had five or six people comment to him about the issue, with chunks of concrete coming off causing citizens to trip.

Great Bend Public Works Director Jason Cauley said his staff will take a look at the issue at the intersection of 16th Street and Williams Street and see when the city can fix the problem.
