Around 50 folks gathered on line last night to hear and discuss some of the options for updating the downtown area in Marshalltown. Project manager Casey Byers of Bolton and Menk helped lead the attendees through a number of options…and some options within those options. Turning both Church and Linn streets was a topic, as was moving the bike lane off of Main Street and onto State Street. Byers emphasized in all areas, one size does not fit all.

Bolton and Menk also suggested making parking on Main Street a combination of angle parking on one side and parallel parking on the other side.
