Public works reports storm response, Hendricks Road repairs and multiple sidewalk projects
Summary
Public Works Director Matthews said crews performed hot‑mix repairs on Hendricks Road to address tree‑root damage, are designing a Waldrop Road sidewalk and conducting sidewalk work near Joseph Huey Elementary School, and continue landscaping and parkway projects across wards.
Director Matthews, Public Works, told residents crews were ready for recent storms and responded across wards. In Ward 1, crews completed hot‑mix repairs on Hendricks Road to address tree roots pushing up the asphalt and are evaluating trees for removal or mitigation.
Matthews said the Waldrop Road sidewalk is in the design phase and that the city is conducting a tree survey to identify easements and trees that may need removal for installation. He said a sidewalk project is being planned to connect Joseph Huey Elementary School to Thurman Road to improve pedestrian connectivity.
Other projects include a Forest Parkway landscaping revamp that is out to bid, completion work at Finch Garden including decorative rocks, plantings and reseeding, and an upcoming wayside walk project working with design engineers. Matthews noted the city is coordinating easement work and tree surveys as part of sidewalk designs.
The director did not provide construction start dates or costs for these projects; residents were referred to future meetings for scheduling and contract award details.
