Street Resurfacing Moves up Albany City Officials’ Priority List
Monday, April 18th, 2016
With Assistant City Manager Phil Roberson, whose 41 years with the city’s Public Works department qualify him as an expert on the topic, noting “potholes in the city are as bad as I’ve ever seen them,” Albany officials — in particular City Manager Sharon Subadan — have redoubled their efforts to address a concern that had created a growing public outcry.
And while funding concerns and uncooperative weather conspired to push resurfacing work on the city’s 550 miles of asphalt streets ever deeper toward the backburner, Reeves Construction Co. finally got the green light in late March to start work on a $1.9 million resurfacing contract the company has with the city, a process that will see some 36 streets receive needed upgrades.
