To Pam Polk (City Manager),
I see they are removing the new Center Street asphalt (again) today.
Could you provide any insight as to why and who is eating the cost?

To Ted Wright,
It didn't meet the required specs. The contractor is responsible
for the additional costs. -- Pam Polk |

| New asphalt was first
applied October 24, 2017, but the top layer wasn't added until December
15th (then removed Dec. 16th). A new top layer of asphalt was applied
Dec. 21 (then removed March 8th). What is hopefully the final attempt
for the top layer was re-applied March 9, 2018. |
ATTENTION:
Crews will be working on Center Street between 11th and 13th Streets
on Thursday & Friday, March 8 & 9th. Please note there will
be NO THROUGH TRAFFIC and plan to take another route.
Also closed will be 11th Street from Spring Street to the bridge
on Thursday and Friday as well. We apologize for any inconvenience
while we make these improvements. -- City of Collinsville 3/7/2018 |

Editorial:
I know it's not "apples-to-apples" but it is ironic
that when Commissioner Francis was arguing unsuccessfully for
brick pavement to be restored (which lasts for centuries when
properly maintained) instead of the seemingly cheaper asphalt
(which lasts just a few years) ... that the asphalt would have
to be replaced twice already in just a few months. -- Ted Wright
