Public works reports street repairs, material use and drainage priorities
Summary
Public works told council that two patching crews are operating, 35 tons of coal mix and 20 tons of road base were used in February, and crews prioritized Knox Street and drainage work near Chandler Field after recent rains.
Public works briefed the council on street-repair activity and drainage work during the department report.
The department said it has two patching crews — a pothole crew and a blade patching crew — and that for the month of February crews used about 35 tons of coal mix and approximately 20 tons of road base to rebuild and resurface problem areas. Staff said they removed seriously damaged pavement on several streets and are planning follow-up pavement work and drainage improvements on Knox Street and near Chandler Field.
A council member questioned conditions on 8th Street near the elementary playground; staff confirmed ongoing priorities and field checks to determine whether to concave or crown the waterway to drain faster.
