Residents ask council about Huntington Drive repaving as contractors delay work
Summary
A resident asked the Bryan City Council about a repaving project for Huntington Drive after contractors delayed work because of heavy rain. City staff said the work had been scheduled for the coming week but may be postponed and recommended street sweeping before paving.
A Huntington Drive resident, Steve Cox, asked Bryan City Council about the timing of a scheduled repaving project for Huntington Drive and nearby East Lenders Street, saying the project was supposed to be done this month.
A city staff member responded that the schedule was an estimate and that "Brian was just confirming with the contractor that it should happen next week." The staff member also said heavy rain had delayed contractors on many projects and that the city planned to post signs and consider door‑knocker notices to inform residents before work started.
Cox said there was still loose gravel and dried grass on the street and recommended the city use street sweepers prior to applying the new surface. A council member replied, "I'm gonna let the department heads in charge make that decision." The resident framed the suggestion as a recommendation for operations rather than a request for a formal council action.
No motion or formal action was taken at the meeting. The exchange occurred during the public comments portion of the agenda; city staff indicated they would coordinate with the contractor and department heads on scheduling and pre-paving street cleaning.
