ON THE QUESTION
Alderman Wilshire
Where are we in the process?
Mayor Donchess
Public Works thinks that we will be able to finish this in the next month or so and get all the streets into the
system. They are loading all of the data into the new software system. They think they can do it in the next 30
days. As you, I’m sure recall, we will then use that as a basis to evaluate a broader street paving program.
