Resident Steve Cox urges Bryan council to repair South Court Island roadway
Loading...
Summary
Steve Cox, a Huntington Drive resident, told the Bryan City Council the pavement on South Court Island has deteriorated and that large garbage trucks circulating the traffic circles are worsening damage; he invited council members to inspect the site.
Steve Cox, a Huntington Drive resident, used the public-comment period at the April 20 Bryan City Council meeting to press the city to repair the roadway on South Court Island.
"I'd like to invite you all to take a look at the South Court Island and the very bad condition of the roadway they're in," Cox said, describing cracks and rutting that, he said, "a simple tar and gravel is not gonna fix." He said the size and routing of Republic garbage trucks operating in the neighborhood force drivers to "pack and file to get around each of the circles" and that maneuvering has repeatedly damaged the islands and pavement.
Cox offered to show council members the roadway and urged the council to consider more substantial repair work than a surface patch. Council members thanked him for the report but did not take immediate action during the meeting; the agenda moved on to other items.
The comment is likely to inform future public-works planning and potential repair bids because Cox described structural damage that, he said, requires more than routine maintenance.
