Resident urges city to inspect paving work on Collins Avenue; says new surface sits above driveway grade
Summary
A resident told council that recent paving on Collins Avenue left the roadway surface higher than his driveway apron and said pipes were damaged during work; he asked for a city inspection and follow‑up contact.
At the June 16 meeting of the Pleasantville City Council, resident John Boyd asked the city to inspect paving work on Collins Avenue after recent resurfacing left the street surface higher than his driveway apron and a trench area where pipes had been placed.
Boyd said he had provided photos to the city engineer’s office and been directed to the city engineer; he said the permanent grade in front of his house now sits roughly an inch (and in the trench area nearly two inches) above his driveway apron, creating a trip hazard and a practical concern if he tries to sell the house. Boyd asked that someone from public works or the engineer’s office call him for an on‑site review; Councilmember DeGeang (identified as taking the request) said staff would follow up and assured him that someone would contact him the following day.
Ending: The clerk said staff would forward Boyd’s contact information to the appropriate department for inspection and remediation as needed.
