Public Works: downtown resurfacing planned, patching to begin as water treatment moves up priority list
Summary
Public Works Director Shawn Breazeale told the council funds are set aside for downtown resurfacing; councilors directed staff to pursue patching now to conserve funds for a planned new water treatment plant, and Breazeale said he will obtain quotes and repair the Hwy 5/Jasper Street intersection.
Pleasantville — The council discussed street maintenance and capital priorities at the May 20 meeting, with staff and council members weighing resurfacing against more limited patching while prioritizing the water treatment plant.
Public Works Director Shawn Breazeale said funds have been identified for downtown street resurfacing. Council member Aaron Hurt said the city should consider patching now to conserve funds for the water treatment plant project, which the council described as its next high priority. Breazeale said he will get quotes for patch work and begin work at the start of next week. He also noted the city plans to repair the intersection of Highway 5 and Jasper Street.
Residents asked about drainage issues on Clark Street; Breazeale explained addressing that concern would require installing stormwater infrastructure, which the council did not budget at the meeting.
Next steps: Public Works will solicit quotes for street patching, begin patch work soon, and coordinate any future stormwater infrastructure planning and budgeting.
