When they do the pre-assessment make sure they have inspected your main street sewer so that it isn't full of silt. That stuff loosens up during the construction and makes a big mess for some houses.
Alma Drive watermain replacement
|
seem to be upset that there are small sections of the road that have not been resurfaced.
As you can see in the attached photo, the section of road opposite my house is as cracked
and damaged as any section they did. This section will have potholes by next year.
The neighbours seem to be upset about a false economy here. I'm sure this will be brought
up in the next election. All the equipment is still around the area and this is a half day's work.

Good afternoon Mr. Asmis and thank you for your inquiry. The resurfacing only takes place
where the watermain work was completed. General resurfacing and watermain work are
not necessarily paired and cannot always be coordinated.

I completely understand your concern and can appreciate that Alma Drive appears to be in
need of resurfacing. However the side that didn't have watermain resurfacing is still in
state of good repair, even though there are visible cracks and deficiencies.

I will however ensure that staff are aware of your concern and see to it that it is in line for
resurfacing in the future.

Thank you very much for doing this. The confusion with the neighbours came from the work
done on Leggett nearby. That pavement is the same age and it was all done. Leaving
small patches here on and there, on Alma, is ugly, but I understand that it is difficult to
coordinate these things. I'll try to calm people down, since somehow I've become the block
captain on city engineering matters.

The final issue is that they wave a magic wand and now decide which little patches of road to leave un-resurfaced,
where they used to do all of it.

Try to get them to promise to do the whole street. Little patches are ugly and make everybody angry.
