SUBJECT: WAR ON POT HOLES IN COUNTY ROADS /
A TOP PRIORITY FOR 1988
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECONIl110IDATI ON:
That Michael Walford, Director of Public Works, report to
the Board of Supervisors on where the Public Works
Department is concentrating their efforts to repair pot
holes in the unincorporated areas of the county.
That this report will include the following information:
a) A time table for scheduled road repairs
in the unincorporated areas of the county.
b) The time table and list of streets will
be broken down for each supervisor's district.
c) All funding sources will be identified: i.e. Federal,
State & County.
So that the Board has a better idea of the magnitude of this
most pressing and frustrating problem, the report shall
include the estimated costs of repairing ALL roads in Contra
Costa County - both in the unincorporated areas and in the
cities.
BACKGROUND:
The time has come to declare "War on Pot Holes" in Contra
Costa County. Every time I leave my home I 'm confronted by
a pot hole and I 'm not alone. It' s a safe bet that hundreds
- if not thousands - of residents in Contra Costa County are
frustrated by the decaying state of our roads.
The maintenance and repair of our roads is one of the most
pressing problems facing us. It' s a problem that won' t go
away and will continue to grow if something isn' t done
quickly to stop the tide of neglect.
This report will help to identify those areas suffering from
the worst neglect and give them top priority for future
repair.
