Ross,
I have a response from interim city manager
in response to your first email to me. There is no final decision on
this and we will consider our choices the last council meeting this
month.

Elizabeth,
Thank you for responding to our concerns about East O and East N Streets. Mr. Wadsworth, Director of Public Works, stated that a portion of Southampton Road is scheduled to be repaved. I drove down that portion of Southampton Road yesterday. It is smoother than a baby's behind compared to East O and East N. Perhaps the City could take a small portion of those funds and reallocate them.
We understand that Southampton Road gets a lot of traffic, but what is the rationale for repaving a smooth street when you have streets in an emergency condition?
We will be very interested in the outcome of the upcoming council meeting.
Thanks again.
Ross

Ross,
First, I am wrong about the last meeting of the month to consider staff recommendations for the road maintenance work. Apparently it will be at an October meeting and I will try to send you a notice.
Right now I don't have all the information I need, but my educated guess is that the maintenance work for Southampton is to keep it from degrading to the point of having to completely reconstruct the road. And from my observation of the road conditions at East O and N and West I and Mills . . . and the list goes on, the road is so bad that it may have to be seriously reconstructed. Again, I am not the expert and these are the questions that we will have when the schedule of road repair is discussed.
I am copying the interim city manager who will be able to give you more firm dates for the council meeting at which we will discuss the situation and give direction to staff.
Take care,
Elizabeth
