$500,000 FUNDING APPROVED FOR EAST O STREET REPAVING

Mr. Wadsworth,

Thanks for the update and for your efforts and those of the City Council in obtaining the funding to finally repair East O. 


Also, thank you for directing the temporary repairs in the 400 block near the car wash.  We hope that more of the bigger potholes can be filled in the next few weeks as a temporary measure.  They seem to be getting bigger.  Our vehicles and our nerves will appreciate it.

We appreciate your responsiveness.  Thanks again for your help in making Benicia a better place for all of us.

Mr. Schwartz, Furtado and Sagun,

I am happy to report that the City Council approved $4.4 million in funding for the 2017 Street Resurfacing Project, which includes removing the existing asphalt concrete on East O Street from 225 west of East 3^rd to East 5^th at a cost of over $500,000. If all goes well with the design and bidding process, then construction should begin during the summer of 2017.

Over the past few weeks, the Street Maintenance crew has placed a thin overlay on part of East O Street and placed a 20’ x 20 pavement patch near the car wash. Over the next few weeks when the weather permits it, they will place more thin overlay to help reduce the risk of potholes forming this winter.

More information about the action that the City Council took on 10/18 can be found at the following web page.
