Mr. Prokopiuk also stated that <br />he disagreed with the fact that the street was in <br />bad repair. He further stated that the street was <br />not sealed or crushed rock put on in four years. He felt <br />one section of curb needs repair. He felt the <br />street received no major traffic and that it was <br />not in bad condition. Mr. Prokopiuk also questioned <br />what percent of the street is in need of repair, and <br />further stated it was wrong to repair now when it <br />was not needed with the idea of saving money. <br /> <br />Mayor Harcus stated the City has seventy miles of <br />streets to maintain, and that they all need repairs <br />at different times. <br /> <br />Director of Finance presented two letters from residents <br />Frederick Schwabe, 82-19th Ave. S.W., and Patrick <br />E. Bump, 151 19th Ave. S.W., opposing the proposed <br />improvement project. <br /> <br />Mr. Richard DeFilippis, 30 19th Ave. S.W. questioned <br />why there is no scheduled maintenance on the street <br />in four years, and stated he was in total disagreement <br />with the project. <br /> <br />Mr. Bob Hines, 77 19th Ave. S.W., stated he walks,:,the <br />street every day in the summer, and that there was only <br />two spots that have any break-up. He futher stated he <br />felt there was three to five years of use left in the <br />street before it has to be re-built. <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />Mr. Roger Williams, 26 19th Ave. S.W., stated he was <br />one of the residents that did not sign the petition. <br />He further stated from outside appearances there is <br />no need for reconstruction, but that he would rather <br />start paying for it now if it is needeq. <br /> <br />.' <br />
