Mayor Wellman talks about street repair

roadwork

Washington Mayor Joe Wellman wants citizens to be aware of ongoing and future road repairs.
He says the city’s contracted paver, E&B Paving will start work soon. He says the city street department has been out all spring repairing potholes in over two dozens parts of the city while the storm water department is doing work this week on East Side Park Road.

As for Business 50, Mayor Wellman says negotiations continue with the state on getting that road improved and in some places, rebuilt…

The mayor says the work will entail much more than paving…

…30 to 40 years old or more to be exact. The mayor says it would serve no purpose to pave the Business 50 and then tear it up to replace utility lines. The city and state are meeting again this week on the matter.
