City outlines summer street projects

Friday, June 6, 2014

City street crews expect to begin three major road construction projects in coming weeks following final approval of these projects.

During a meeting May 27, the city council approved a revised list of street projects that concentrates most of this work along the city's east side.

The city has approximately $240,000 in its fiscal budget to maintain public roads each year with $160,000 of that money used to rebuild and repave selected streets. The city street department uses the remaining funds for other preventative road maintenance.

There are a number of streets in Mountain Home needing repairs, said city public works director Wayne Shepherd. However, funds for those types of repairs don't stretch very far.

Sections of 3rd and N. Hasket were done the last couple years, part was due to the water main but they paved more than just where the main water kine went.
