The city will receive $2 million in federal block grant money to repave six streets, Public Works Director Matt Worth told the City Council on Monday night.
The six streets will be milled and repaved at a cost of $2.5 million, and there may yet be some state money to help cover some of the cost difference.
The streets are Clinton Street, East Avenue, Liberty Street, South Liberty Street, Swan Street and Vine Street.
The city will now seek proposals from engineering firms, with the selection of the firm in the fall and then preliminary engineering work can begin. The final design would be completed in the fall of 2017 with work beginning in the summer of 2018.
What is the basis of
What is the basis of selection of the streets to be re-paved. I can think of a lot of street that are in worse shape than the ones selected ie; lower Elm Street, Harvester Ave.
Tom, the City has a chart
Tom, the City has a chart showing which ones need what level of repair and a pecking order. I am sure they will be happy to show it to you if you stop by.
