SANFORD — Eight city streets or portions of them are scheduled for paving this year before the snow flies.
At a recent Sanford City Council meeting, Sanford City Manager Steve Buck said some in the community are concerned that significant paving hasn’t yet taken place this year.
However, he said, crews have been working on reconstructive activities as well as preparations for the pending pavement applications.
Streets and roads scheduled for work and what that work is expected to include are:
• Roberts Street: Completion of full reconstruction efforts as well as improvements associated with Goodall Brook;
• Gavel Road: Completion of full reconstruction efforts using funds from Sanford Sewerage District and Traffic Impact Fee funds;
• River Street: Light capital paving overlay on portions to address deteriorated pavement conditions;
• Horace Mills Road: Pavement overlay to address deteriorated pavement conditions;
• High Street: A combination of light capital paving overlay and full-depth
reclamation on portions to address deteriorated pavement conditions;
• Grammar Road: Light capital paving overlay on portions to address deteriorated
pavement conditions;
• Roosevelt Street, Springvale: Full pavement reconstruction;
• Grant Street, Springvale: Problem portions removed and paved back in.
