Ah, the joys of town infrastructure! It is like a never-ending game of dealing with potholes, curbs, and sewers, only to rinse and repeat. Let us dive into the newest program for the Public Works Department, the 10-Year Plan, shall we?
A Play of Streets, Sidewalks, and Curbs
Welcome, dear residents, to the grand spectacle that is our town’s infrastructure improvement plan! Over the last couple of years, you have probably noticed the flurry of activity as our valiant Public Works Department tackles sidewalks, streets, alleys, curbs, and the ever-glamorous sewer system. But wait, there is more! Despite all the progress, there is still plenty left to do. So, grab your popcorn and settle in for the next decade of infrastructure antics. This plan outlines the improvements to be made each year to smaller sections of the town’s infrastructure, so we can avoid larger replacement costs at some point in the future.
Act 1: The Curious Case of the Broken or Missing Curbs
Ever wondered when those elusive curbs will finally make their grand debut in front of your house? Fear not, for the 10-Year Plan has you covered! Picture this: a team of dedicated workers, armed with shovels and determination, slowly but surely replacing and installing curbs one by one. It is like watching a slow-motion relay race, but with concrete. The ultimate winner is all of us.
Act 2: The Pothole Parade
Ah, potholes. The bane of every driver’s existence. But do not worry, our trusty Public Works Department is on the case! With the 10-Year Plan in hand, they will be filling those pesky potholes in the street or alley by your house. Just think of it as a never-ending game of “Pothole Bingo.” Will your street be the next lucky winner? Only time will tell! And this is just the beginning of street maintenance. Milling and repaving all streets and alleys is just down the road, so to speak.
Act 3: The Sewer Saga
Let’s not forget the unsung heroes of our town: the Sanitary Sewer System and the Storm Water System. These underground marvels keep our town running smoothly, and the 10-Year Plan ensures they get the love and attention they deserve. From jet cleaning to root removal, it is a dirty job, but someone’s got to do it. And let’s be honest, who doesn’t love a good sewer story?
Act 4: The Funding Foundation
Of course, all these improvements come with a price tag. But fear not, for our town has mastered the art of paying for them. Some of the funds are provided by you and your fellow residents through the money paid for utilities. While other improvements are paid for by applying for and receiving grants from the state. In this way, we were able to fund projects like the West 41st Avenue Project. It is like winning the lottery, but with more paperwork and fewer confetti cannons. Besides, that would just require more street sweeping.
So, there you have it, folks! The 10-Year Plan: a thrilling, decade-long adventure in town infrastructure. Stay tuned for more updates, and remember, patience is a virtue. After all, Rome was not built in a day, and neither are our curbs.
