West Quintette Reopens After Weeks of Delay; Work Continues On Stacey Road
November 29, 2025
After a weeks-long delay, West Quintette Road has reopened as a drainage project continues in the area.
About 950 feet of West Quintette Road was closed July 18 and was originally estimated to be ready to reopen on September 6. However, work on Quintette Road continued into November.
The Quintette Road work is part of a $2.5 million project that has been underway since late March on Stacey Road. The purpose of this project is to replace the undersized drainage infrastructure from the northwest corner of Stacey Road and West Quintette Road to the outfall approximately three-quarters of a mile south on the east side of Stacey Road.
As Quintette Road reopened, Stacey Road remained closed this week as work continued.
The project includes replacing the existing drainage system with approximately 350 feet of 4-foot x 10-foot box culvert, including the installation of 100 feet of a 10-foot-wide paved concrete ditch upstream of the existing system, reconstruction of about three-quarters of a mile of Stacey Road, milling and resurfacing the intersection of Stacey Road and Quintette Road, and regrading the existing downstream ditch.

A grand jury returned indictments earlier this month against John Henry Walston, Jr., for two counts of first degree murder, one count of sexual battery of a child under 12, one count of arson, and one count of animal cruelty.
A jury trial date was set for January 26, 2026, following a docket court appearance on January 13, 2026. Any motions that may be filed in the case could delay the trial date.
In the early hours of November 7, 2025, emergency responders were called to a house fire on Flaxman Street where two children and a dog were found deceased inside the home. During the course of the investigation, it was discovered that Walston allegedly sexually battered one of the children before he killed both children and then set his house on fire.
