Ms. Mitchell inquired what proper maintenance is which Mr. Jankowski explained. <br /> <br />Ms. Mitchell replied that this road is past the point for proper maintenance and questioned <br />why they should have to pay for mismanagement. She added that this road doesn't get <br />much traffic. <br /> <br />Mr. Jankowski stated that the road does get a fair amount of traffic and added that the age <br />of the road certainly does make a difference. <br /> <br />Ms. Mitchell proposed that the overlay be postponed and inquired what the difference <br />would be if it were done now or three to four years from now. She suggested if the <br />overlay could wait a couple of years, some of the people will probably have moved out of <br />the neighborhood then and it becomes someone else's problem. <br /> <br />Mr. Jankowski stated that if the maintenance is postponed, the City will incur the added <br />cost of patching potholes. <br /> <br />Ms. Mitchell inquired what she can do to stop this improvement project. <br /> <br />Mr. Jankowski summarized the petition process and added that he would be willing to meet <br />with her and neighbors to discuss this issue.
