Board of Aldermen 04-23-2019 Page 2
A couple of other things. The Board of Public Works has before them, and I’m sure they will approve it, a contract
for crack sealing. This is something that will be in addition to the 30 miles of paving we will do in calendar year
2019. This contract will enable crack sealing of 30 additional miles of streets. Crack sealing means the contractor
goes in and fills the cracks in a street to help preserve it for a period of some years so we can preserve some
streets while we pave others so when we get to the streets that have been crack sealed they are in better shape
than they would be if this weren’t undertaken. It is a very effective use of money because the contract is for | think
one hundred and forty some thousand dollars and will enable us to crack seal we think 30 miles of streets, 31
miles, thereby preserving not for the same period of time as paving would, but for several years or more. It will
enable us to preserve the streets while others are being paved. | just wanted to point that out because | know you
all are very interested in making sure the pot holes get filled, the streets get paved. We did 25 miles in 2018. |
think that | have talked to you all very frequently about this. This is another effort that will improve our response
with respect to the longstanding problems with street quality.
Finally, coming up on May 4, is the Nu Muse Music Festival. This is not the first year. | think it’s the third year that
we have held this festival in the spring. | hope anybody who is interested will attend. It’s usually very interesting.
Hopefully the weather will be good. It’s a quality musical festival which will be held downtown. | hope everybody
can attend that on May 4".
