Title: Question about South Avenue
Post by: jay on February 19, 2005, 01:28:28 PM
Two Questions

In what year was the last bricked section of South Avenue paved over?

Where did this paving project start and end?

  That would be 2001 and it started at Emery and stopped at Indianola.

Thanks for the information.  Below is a recent photo of a pothole on South Avenue at the corner of Emery.  Was this the stretch of South Avenue which was paved over in 2001?   If so, I think the city needs a refund.  Also, I noticed that the asphalt pavement south of this location contains numerous cracks which allow water to infiltrate below the surface.  After a few freeze/thaw cycles, many potholes will soon develop along the cracks .
