Water causes damage to Gunn Park, E. First Street
Wednesday, October 14, 2009
The Fort Scott Public Works Department has closed a section of Gunn Park Wednesday by shelter houses No. 6 and No. 7 and by the old golf course. According to Public Works Director Eric Bailey, the closure is a result of recent damage caused by water tunneling under the ground causing a large hole in the ground with the danger of more collapsing. Bailey said engineers are in the process of determining how to fix the damage. The damage is believed to be caused by the abundance of rain recently received, according to the city. It will be closed until further notice and no traffic will be permitted there until repairs can be made.
