The Special City Commission Meeting held on October 28, 2024, in Yankton focused on planned infrastructure projects for the upcoming year. City officials discussed several key initiatives aimed at improving local transportation and community access.

One of the main topics was the East Nineteenth Street project, which will extend from Memorial to Sertoma Park. This project was initially part of the 2020 active transportation plan but has faced delays. Officials expressed optimism about moving forward with this important development.

Additionally, the commission addressed the Karen Drive, Valley Road, and Bradley Street project. This street improvement initiative was previously bid out in 2024, but all bids were rejected. The commission plans to reissue bids for this project in preparation for the 2025 construction season.

Overall, the meeting highlighted the city's commitment to enhancing its infrastructure despite facing challenges in project timelines and bidding processes. The discussions underscored the importance of these projects in promoting better transportation and accessibility for residents.
