It is not possible to give an exact start date at this time. City crews have been out to the street to assess it for slab repair and found that it needs too much work for slab repair to be effective. The street needs to be totally reconstructed. The Mayor explained the process for street rehabilitation: The list of streets to be repaired will be submitted to Council with the proper ordinances; Council will take the legislation into committee to review those streets and review the assessments of those streets from the Engineering and Service Depaactmients.

More streets have been repaired in the past three years than in the past three decades, and the work has been dome in a logical, professional manner. 4
