Public works update: brine tank online, sidewalk plows extended downtown and park signs praised
Summary
Council members reported the new brine tank on Steele Street is operational, two trucks are outfitted for brine application with more expected pending parts, sidewalk plow coverage downtown was expanded (serving as far as 7th or 8th Street), and new park signage has received positive public feedback.
Jamestown's public-works updates at the Jan. 6 work session included the new brine tank on Steele Street and expanded sidewalk-plow coverage in the downtown area.
Council member Randy reported the brine tank is up and running and that two trucks are currently outfitted to dispense liquid de-icing; staff expect additional trucks to be outfitted once parts arrive. He said the department is interviewing candidates for mechanics and has found "decent prospects."
Council members praised new park signs in several neighborhoods (Southbridge, Nordstrom, Roseland, Bourbon) and said businesses have thanked the city for expanded sidewalk plow service that reached as far as 7th or 8th Street downtown rather than relying on small private plows.
No formal actions or budget votes on these items were recorded in the work session transcript.
