Mayor highlights road priorities, Main Street paving and upcoming community events
Summary
Mayor spoke about the need for roughly $1,000,000 in annual road work to improve the city's PASER ratings, previewed fall bid awards for the next Main Street paving phase, and reminded residents about National Night Out and the Madison Barbecue Party.
The mayor told the council that road funding is likely to be scarce at the state level and emphasized a local target of about $1,000,000 in annual road improvements (outside the Main Street project) to make progress on the city’s asset management plan. The mayor asked councilors to submit road candidates for the CCMG list and previewed that the next Main Street paving phase would be let this fall with most paving scheduled for next spring.
"We need to do about 1000000 dollars worth of of road improvements each year just to make a dent in our annual asset management plan," the mayor said. The mayor also encouraged attendance at National Night Out and the upcoming Madison Barbecue Party, and noted the Board of Public Works had approved street closures for fall events. The next council meeting will be Aug. 18 and the mayor said budget workshop materials are expected to be provided to council members before that date.
