Boone Street sinkhole assigned to contractor; council to await roads study before sealing
Summary
Public Works reported the sinkhole on Boone Street is the responsibility of Sdl, which will repair it in two to three weeks; Council member Dave Radford said an engineering plan with contractor Palmer is needed before deciding on seal coating for local roads.
Public Works Superintendent Jack Dudley told the council the sinkhole on the first block of Boone Street was determined to be the responsibility of Sdl, which is arranging to fix the problem; safety cones are in place and repair could take two to three weeks.
Council member Dave Radford reported he is working with contractor Palmer to develop a roads plan. When the mayor asked whether the council should put a seal on roads first, Radford said the report from Palmer is needed before making that decision.
Why it matters: A sinkhole in a residential block is a public-safety and infrastructure concern; who pays for and performs the repair affects the city's schedule and budget. The council is seeking a written plan from a contractor before deciding on surface treatments such as seal coating.
Next steps: Sdl to proceed with sinkhole repairs; Dave Radford and staff will continue work with Palmer and bring a roads plan back to council for consideration.
