MONROE - Monroe Common Council members approved borrowing $5.185 million for upcoming roadwork on 8th Street set to begin in March but denied an additional $335,000 of bonding for refunding Tax Increment Finance District 8 obligations to the city. Pavement will be torn up and turn lanes will be slightly reconfigured throughout the summer months as work is conducted along the commercial strip of the city. Additional work to replace aging pipes below the street will also be conducted.
