Alderman Dowd
Just one other thing for people's edifications, when we pave a street like Amherst Street where there are hundreds of
trucks, heavy trucks, every hour, you use a thicker coat of tar than you do on side streets. If you didn't, that would break
up very quickly. Those heavy vehicles really tear up roads.
Alderman Klee
Backing up on to what Aldermen Dowd had said, Amherst Street — 101A is that not a State road and do we pave that?
Dan Hudson, City Engineer
So we do. There are State numbered routes which still are within our maintenance responsibility. That would be one.
Alderman Klee
Okay thank you.
President Wilshire
Anyone else?
Alderman Harriott-Gathright
| just want to say thank you as well to the paving program. I've had quite a few residents that have call for one reason or
another. | would quickly send an e-mail off to Lauren and she's so wonderful. She really is. | get a lot of positive
comments from my constituents on how she's responded and worked at times that there's work to be done in other
times, she could say when approximately works want to be done. | had a gentleman on Hollyhock just last week - so he
sent the thank you to me for sending it to her and a thank you to her for fixing his roadway — Hollyhock because they had
big potholes over there. So say thank you, again.
Dan Hudson, City Engineer
We will.
Lisa Fauteux, Director of Public Works
| just want to mentioned that Commissioner Pappas would like to ask a couple of questions and she can't unmute herself
and | don't know if the host can unmute her or?
Alderman Klee
Jeff just sent me a message that said if Commissioner Pappas comes in again, he has mute upon entry off so she
should be open mic if she comes back in. She's not in right now, she left. So if she calls back in, the auto mute will be
off for her.
Lisa Fauteux, Director of Public Works
Okay, let me ask. I'll tell her that.
President Wilshire
While we're waiting, how about those Red Sox?
Alderman Harriott-Gathright
| actually have another question. So there is several areas where the pavements are really, really bad and one of them
is Harris Road as it comes into the intersection of Conant Road. | think it's the right-hand side if you're going to Harris
Road. Is that in the plan - the pavements? You were referring to at the end of Harris Road.
