Council hears plan to regrade Sixth Street after temporary fixes; cost estimate pending
Summary
Staff said temporary gravel and cold‑mix repairs were applied to Sixth Street but that a longer‑term solution would be regrading; the city will request a cost estimate and return to council with options.
Stayton — The council discussed ongoing maintenance of Sixth Street after residents complained the road remained in poor condition despite temporary repairs.
City staff said crews placed gravel and intended to apply cold mix to fill potholes, but described regrading the road as the longer‑term fix. Staff explained the street’s cross‑section drains toward the center because of how gravel was placed along the edge; regrading would correct drainage and reduce recurring potholes, they said.
Council members and neighborhood residents described continuing low spots and asked the city to prioritize follow‑through. Staff said they had asked for a cost estimate to regrade the road and would report back on whether the work could fit within the current budget or require additional allocation.
Staff noted the neighborhood repairs had been done in stages rather than a single clear‑cut operation, and that improved conditions were visible compared with the prior week though some low areas remained. No timeline or firm cost was presented at the meeting.
