Resident urges paving of Vic and Arrington as loose material and low spots persist
Summary
Resident John Hammerstein told the commission that Vic Avenue and Arrington are deteriorating despite prior grading and urged paving; town staff said Vic had been discussed for paving using transportation impact fees but scheduling is not yet set and staff will inspect the streets.
At the Town Commission meeting April 14, resident John Hammerstein urged the town to prioritize paving Vic Avenue and Arrington, saying both roads remain unstable after grading and are developing low spots.
"The hope was that after it was compacted with traffic ... it's not holding up, and it's starting to deteriorate," Hammerstein said, describing loose material and areas that have not settled as expected. He asked whether the town could schedule paving for the heavily used streets.
Town officials said the commission had previously agreed Vic was a candidate for paving and that transportation impact fees were a possible funding source, but staff has not scheduled the work. "We haven't really done a whole lot with it. We need to check and move on with it," a town representative said, adding staff will review the project list and evaluate whether to piggyback Vic paving with nearby projects to save mobilization costs.
The town manager said she will have staff inspect the streets and report back: "I'll have to just give me some time to look into it and I'll get with you." No firm timeline or allocation of funds was announced at the meeting.
Separately, residents asked about hazardous-waste collection. Staff clarified the town’s spring clean-up will run May 9 and May 16 (curbside by 7:00 a.m.) but will not accept hazardous waste, electronics, paint or batteries; a separate hazardous-waste event may be scheduled at a later date.
The commission took no vote on a paving schedule at the April 14 meeting; follow-up by staff was requested.
