Lake Havasu streets supervisor describes repairs, storm response and event traffic control

Andrew Means, a field supervisor in Lake Havasu City's streets department, said he has worked for the city for 39 years and now oversees crews that perform concrete repairs, striping, pavement patching, storm-damage response and traffic control for special events.

"I've been here 39 years," Means said. "As a field supervisor, every day is different." He told the Faces of Havasu segment that each morning crews meet for a team and safety meeting before dispersing to tasks that can include painting, striping, patching, pavement work and street sweeping.

Means said storm damage is a major focus for his crews and that they also handle traffic control during special events. "Our Veterans Day parade is probably my most favorite parade to be a part of because we have all the veterans that we get to thank as they drive by," he said.

Jerry Braccamani, host of the Faces of Havasu segment, thanked Means and his team for keeping roads and events safe. The short interview noted Means began his city career in parks work and moved to the streets department three years ago.

The segment provides a brief overview of the streets division's day-to-day duties and its role in event safety; it did not include budget numbers, staffing levels, or plans for future projects.
