City considers repaving options

Bottom line

City commissioners are interested in increasing the amount of street repaving work done in the city this summer. Commissioners will consider going out for bid on a third phase of mill and overlay work in the city in order to get the work done before asphalt prices rise to even higher levels.

Background

The phase III program would include repaving portions of Rockledge Road; Alabama Street immediately south of Sixth Street; and several residential streets in the southeast area of town.
