Thursday I attended a presentation made by Dave Weber of Wendler Engineering with several board members, staff, and interested parties regarding a proposal for road repairs and rebuilding. Since the final decision has not been made by our board of directors I cannot report the finalized numbers so I will generalize.
The proposal is a program to be implemented over a period of four years and at first reading the numbers seems workable with our reserves and continuing yearly contributions we have been making for some time. Our reserves are still in good shape even after the dredging costs are paid so we will be on good footing when the project finally starts. It could begin in 2011 or possibly as late as 2012 depending on getting all the ducks in a row.
The discussion seemed to revolve around the necessity to make this a continuing project after the initial work is completed so we don’t find ourselves in a crisis with all roads deteriorating at once. As things progress I am sure much more detailed information will be available in our Candlewick newsletter as well as future meetings with the residents prior to a final decision.
