CITIZEN INPUT <br /> Jim Myslicki, 16811 Zirconium St., expressed concern with the condition of 167th Avenue NW <br /> between TH 47 and CR 5. He commented that people are often driving on the shoulder of the road <br /> to avoid potholes. He stated that he has not seen any activity from the patching crew on that road, <br /> although he has seen patching on other roads in the area. He commented that there is a lot of traffic <br /> on this section of roadway and wanted to know if there would be patching. He recognized that <br /> there is a resurfacing of the roadway potentially scheduled for 2023. He commented that <br /> something needs to be done before that time. He commented that there is not even a center line <br /> painted on the roadway, which is a concern. He stated that he has been a resident of Ramsey for <br /> 36 years and his taxes continue to increase but the road conditions continue to deteriorate. <br /> Chairperson Riley confirmed that the segment of road is scheduled for reconstruction in 2023. <br /> City Engineer Westby confirmed that the road will be completely reconstructed in 2023 and staff <br /> is also reviewing the potential pedestrian elements. <br /> Chairperson Riley commented that while there are several steps for approval, the road will be <br /> reconstructed in 2023. <br /> City Engineer Westby commented that staff is attempting to address deep potholes, even on roads <br /> scheduled for reconstruction in future years. He recognized that staff is behind on that activity. <br /> Public Works Streets Supervisor Turner commented that he will review the condition and if he <br /> needs to get someone out there sooner than scheduled, he will do so. He confirmed that the road <br /> is in poor condition, and he does have a work order for patching. <br /> Public Works Committee /July 19, 2022 <br /> Page 1 of 13 <br />
