His <br />brief history of Lakewood's street resurfacing informed the audience that <br />prior to this administration, such work was done by contractors. The <br />program was so expensive that only 15 streets were resurfaced over a. <br />seven-year period. <br /> <br />Life' expectancy of a street surface is between 20 and 30 years. To keep <br />up with the natural wear and tear, a program was needed. By initiating <br />an "in-house" program, the cost to the homeowners and the City was reduced <br />by 50-75%. Even with inflation, today's program can accomplish a better <br />product at a lower cost with the owner's portion being $6.50 per foot. <br /> <br />Audience representation by street consisted of: <br /> <br /> 0 - Phelps Ave. <br /> 4 - Atkins Ave. <br /> 2 - Victoria Ave. <br /> 9 - Nicholson <br /> <br />~r.
