Alderman Harriott-Gathright
What areas have we got that information on so far?
Mr. Hudson
So we have gotten the whole City because we have been doing this for a while. But! believe they have been
working south and north just last year and they did the middle of the City and the year before that was the
southern end of the City. So on a rotating basis we keep going around and reviewing conditions in each area
every third year.
Alderman Harriott-Gathright
OK, can | follow up?
Mayor Donchess
Yes.
Alderman Harriott-Gathright
So this is all part of the 10 year plan, is that correct.
Mr. Hudson
It is, yeah.
Alderman Harriott-Gathright
It is.
Mr. Hudson
Well it is part of the continued paving program, we are five years into that. We have a five year pavement
bond and we will be coming back seeking continuation of that program because at the outset it was envisioned
as a 10 year program. But yes we are about halfway through that program.
Alderman Harriott-Gathright
Another follow up. So which areas have we reviewed, let’s say twice?
Mr. Hudson
So in 5 years, | mean if this is the northern section we would have reviewed the south and the middle twice.
Every year they do an assessment and we get an update and we are seeing the positive benefit of the
program. The average pavement condition is increasing. We have made significant improvements to our
arterial roadways as well as neighborhood roadways. We are doing paving around the whole City, | don’t want
the impression to be that we are not, because we are assessing we are just doing one area of the City. We
have been paving in all areas of the City every year.
Alderman Harriott-Gathright
Can | have a follow up?
