Street crews patch roads, trim trees and await chip-and-seal vendor timeline
Summary
Street Foreman Mark Traum told the Mount Carroll City Council crews have been patching streets, trimming trees, prepping for a Helm chip-and-seal project (timeline pending), removing a dangerous tree at a private property, and investigating a park insect report.
Street Foreman Mark Traum told the council crews have focused this week on storm cleanup, patching streets and trimming trees in advance of a planned chip-and-seal by contractor Helm, although the contractor’s start date has not been confirmed.
Traum reported the crew removed a dangerous tree at Tom Disher’s property and inspected the old playground equipment for reported ground bees, finding a different, non-harmful insect. Alderwoman Amy Buss said she has video of the insect and offered to share it with the foreman. Alderman Jeff Elliott urged staff to "make sure you go get water and Gatorade on the City’s account and take lots of breaks with this heat."
