Resident asks why Wilsey Bridge Road looks like a "patchwork quilt"; highway official says oil-and-stone planned by August
Summary
A resident asked whether Wilsey Bridge Road paving was finished, describing it as a "patchwork quilt." The highway department said crews patched rutted spots and plan to apply oil-and-stone (after blacktop cures), with likely completion in August.
During public comment, resident Jane Plasman asked about the status of paving on Wilsey Bridge Road and reported constituent concerns that the road looks uneven.
Plasman said, "It looks like a patchwork quilt," and asked whether the work was complete or if more paving is planned. Highway department official (S3) replied the crew patched spots to level ruts and that "later this summer, we're gonna put a nice coat of oil and stone on it with the blacktop be down there 1st to cure," estimating the oil-and-stone application around August.
The board and S3 explained that the temporary patches are preparation for a full oil-and-stone surface and that motorists may see a change in appearance as the project proceeds. The board asked staff to relay a projected schedule and confirm when the full surface will be completed.
