Summary
Speaker 1 said the village repaved 12 streets this year, repaired 'over 300' potholes, and plans to repave about 14 streets next year; the speaker described resident complaints after social-media posts and said a community liaison followed up door-to-door.
An unidentified speaker at a Village of Dolton meeting said crews repaved 12 streets this year and repaired "over 300" potholes, and that the village plans to repave about 14 streets next year.
The speaker recounted posting repaving work on social media and then receiving many follow-up requests from residents asking why other streets had not been done. To address concerns, the speaker said the village deployed a community liaison who knocked on doors, explained the process and told residents the village was aware of their streets and working on priorities.
The speaker acknowledged resource limits and described residents' frustration about wanting their block prioritized "when a new team comes in." He said the goal is to be "consistent, predictable, and repeatable" in delivering services.
The transcript provides these counts and plans as statements by the speaker. No engineering schedules, contract awards or detailed street lists were provided in the remarks; residents seeking precise timelines were directed to follow up with village staff.
