Benicia City Councilman Tom Campbell brought our neighborhood's concerns about our streets to the attention of the entire council at their meeting on Tuesday, October 4th. During the public comment session, Councilman Campbell reminded the council about the need to immediately address the deteriorated conditions in our downtown Benicia neighborhood. The council was quick to note that they had received "many emails" about our concerns.
Mayor Patterson echoed Councilman Campbell's comments. Graham Wadsworth, Benicia's Director of Public Works, then gave an update on their proposed timetable to make repairs. He stated that crews would be out this week to make temporary repairs to East O and East N. More permanent and substantial repairs and their required funding will be the topic at the next City Council meeting on Tuesday, October 18th.
This is a huge step forward thanks to Tom Campbell. Thank you, Tom, for bringing our concerns to the forefront. Time will tell if the City is true to its word.
You can view video of Tom's comments on the Benicia's website at http://www.ci.benicia.ca.us/agendas (fast forward to about 1:40 on the tape).

Brought the O & N St. roads up in public comment section on Tuesday. You might see what was said. It sounds like the City crew will be out next week for short term work and then at the City Council meeting on 10/18 a long term fix will be on the table.
