Jeff Poehnert, PEG Manager
That would be *6.
Lisa Fauteux, Director of Public Works
She tried that and she said it didn't work.
Jeff Poehnert, PEG Manager
Well then | don't have an answer there.
Lisa Fauteux, Director of Public Works
Okay. She's on the zoom call, but she's on a landline and she's tried the *6 and she's said it didn't work. We can't
unmute her? No.
Jeff Poehnert, PEG Manager
No, | cannot unmute.
Lisa Fauteux, Director of Public Works
Okay.
Alderman Klee
Can she text the question?
President Wilshire
Alderwoman Lu do you want to ask a question while we're waiting?
Alderwoman Lu
Well | do have questions and she could also text me the question if she would like to.
How many miles are to be repaved in the next five years? Will that be the balance to 300 or fewer?
Dan Hudson, City Engineer
It would be fewer. | mean, we've done 113. That's about through half the program. So we would expect to do a similar
amount.
Alderwoman Lu
Okay. All right. And what's the life of a road? Or is that impossible to say, it depends on - so if that's impossible to say,
could you tell me the average life of a highly traveled road?
Dan Hudson, City Engineer
Highly traveled roads have the most traffic, the heaviest traffic and that's what you know that fatigues a road over time.
There are many factors as you can imagine but | mean a good paved road, 12 years plus or minus on a heavy arterial.
Alderwoman Lu
And what about a minimally traveled like a side street, a residential side street?
Dan Hudson, City Engineer
It can be up to 20 years. Yeah.
