Background
During 2016 and 2017 most of the $9 million of bond funding appropriated at the end of 2015 was utilized for 39 miles of road improvements as follows: 9.5 miles of pavement overlays; 26.4 miles milled and paved; and 3.1 miles reclaimed and paved with drainage improvements. In addition, in 2017 Canal Road (.5 miles) was reconstructed funded by a STEAP grant and drainage improvements were installed on Thrall Avenue (1.2 miles) as part of a $1.1 million LOTCIP funded reconstruction project, anticipated for completion in the Spring of this year.
