MEMORANDUM
DATE: June 19, 1990
TO: Steve Goram, Director of Public Works
FROM: Per Birdsall, Street Supervisor~
RE: Kaye Street - Repaying of Street
Kaye Street, which was installed many years back, has not
received any maintenance outside of pothole patching since its
construction. Its current condition reflects the age of the road
which has been complicated by numerous water leaks on the old
water line which is located in the east bound lane. Only with
the dead end status of the street and low volume of traffic, has
the pavement lasted this long. A new water line was installed in
the street a few years ago in the westbound lane which eliminated
the frequent water leaks and repaved a four (4) foot strip along
the north side. This helped tremendously.
Kaye Street was one of the roads identified in the 90-91 proposed
budget at a cost of $32,000 which would mill off the old surface
and place a new surface at the original grade so as to not
diminish the drainage capacity of the curb and gutter drainage
(no storm sewer). Summer is normally the best months to perform
this type of work but upon approval of funding (if general funds
are used) work could begin in October. If funds are available
now, work could begin in as little as two (2) months.
An agenda item could be put together for the July 10, 1990 agenda
if funding can be expected.
