Top issues during term (9)(Roads)
Crew Staffing for Potholes, Road Repair and Drainage
Street repair costs are to be matched against specific funding sources, revealing how much new spending may be required.
Westbrook Road bridge replacement
Known bridge replacements like May Street run $6–7 million each; about $4–5 million in modernization bond funds is earmarked for bridge clearing.
JTRAN Transit Funding
The city's budget is squeezing the contract; a strike or service loss would hit riders who depend on buses.
Flag Chapel Road reconstruction
City share would be $820,000 of the $1,070,000 project cost.
Street resurfacing Phase 2 engineering
Engineering contract cost; total not stated on the agenda.
Hemphill Construction absences on MLK Drive and Shaw Road Bridge
Award amount corrected from $560,751.39 to $560,747.50.
Town Creek and Georgetown sidewalk safety
Traffic Lights
Consultant study could cost $400,000–$1.1 million; a salaried engineer would be cheaper long-term.
JTRAN driver contract negotiations
A new deal would raise driver pay and city transit costs.
