City Engineer Westby replied the Public Works Committee also brough that up and asked Staff the make sure that rough section was included in this reconstruction and it is going about 15 feet past that point. He stated that is a 2023 project so in 2022, they will continue to patch it and in 2024 the CIP includes a project for Alpine Drive up to Puma Street.
