Committee approves additions to 2025 overlay list and gets updates on reconstruction projects
Summary
Committee endorsed staff adjustments to an expanded asphalt overlay list — adding Qua Street and Knox in place of Woodland Ridge — and heard status updates on multiple 2025 street-reconstruction projects and related trail work.
The Infrastructure & Facilities Committee reviewed proposed additional streets for asphalt overlay in 2025 and reached a consensus to substitute Qua Street and Knox for Woodland Ridge on the staff list. Staff said an additional $250,000 for asphalt materials was available and outlined milling and pulverizing costs for several candidate streets.
Engineering and Department of Public Works staff explained how pavement condition ratings and recent lead-service-line replacement work influence the selection of streets for mill-and-overlay or pulverize-and-resurface. Staff said work already completed or scheduled (lead lateral replacement, curb and gutter condition) affects whether a street is a practical mill-and-overlay candidate.
Committee members identified local priorities (Hamilton Street between Fifth and Sixth, and short badly deteriorated segments) and asked staff to consider distributing work across districts. Committee members concurred with staff swapping Qua and Knox onto the list; staff said the change reduced the projected asphalt-material cost within the extra $250,000 allocation.
Staff provided project updates on current reconstruction work: Cherry Street (surface complete on one phase; utilities ongoing on Randolph), Fulton Street (one phase complete; other phases nearing paving), Second Street trail extension (paved and in restoration), and downtown Washington/Third/Jackson reconstruction (contractor about three weeks ahead of schedule but awaiting exterior work on an adjacent building before final sidewalk/plantings). Staff said concrete pavement repairs would likely start in late summer and milling/overlay work had already begun on selected corridors.
No formal vote was required on every line item; the committee provided direction and consensus on the recommended substitutions and asked staff to proceed with the revised list and to coordinate communications and scheduling with affected neighborhoods.
