speeding issues and see if there are some methods that could be used to slow <br />vehicles down. <br /> <br /> It was asked if the assessment shown on the handout was the entire amount or <br />just the homeowner’s share. Mr. Elfering replied that it was just the <br />homeowner’s share that was shown. <br /> <br /> A resident asked if all of the curb was being replaced. Mr. Elfering answered <br />that just the damaged sections of curb and sections that are holding a significant <br />amount of water would be replaced. A resident then asked if the curb problems <br />are from the original construction. Mr. Elfering stated that he felt that the <br />problems were caused by settlement of the road over the years. He estimated that <br />about 20% of the curb would be replaced. <br /> <br /> A resident asked what valley gutters were. Mr. Elfering explained that they are <br />concrete gutters that run across the intersection of a perpendicular street to <br />convey the water. Concrete is a better option as asphalt tends to deteriorate if it <br />sees too much water over time. <br /> <br /> There was a question on the railroad being assessed. The City Administrator <br />responded that we always assess railroads and historically they have paid their <br />share. <br /> <br /> It was asked when the road was last reconstructed. The City Administrator <br />replied that it was last cone in 1993. <br /> <br /> A resident asked what the typical life of a street is. Mr. Elfering answered that it <br />is usually 20 years so this road has gone beyond that normal life. <br /> <br /> It was asked if the road has taken a heavier beating due to the freeway <br />construction over the recent past. The City Administrator responded that it was <br />built to a higher standard knowing that it would take more of a pounding so it has <br />held up fine to the extra traffic and weight. <br /> <br /> It was asked if seal coating the streets would help. Mr. Elfering responded that <br />seal coating is done more to prevent the pavement from drying out and it doesn’t <br />help with the pounding that the road takes. <br /> <br /> A resident asked how long the work would take. Mr. Elfering replied that it <br />depends on the water main and curb work. He estimated the milling and paving <br />portion would only be one day each, but the curb work would take one or two <br />weeks and the water main work would take one or two weeks. He estimated that <br />total project timeline would be four-to-six weeks. <br />
