• Tubbs Lane
• Myrtledale Road
• Franz Valley School Road
Approval of this item will give Public Works the appropriation to move forward with the repair of these roads, including preliminary review, design and engineering, project management, construction, and construction management. Road treatments may consist of overlays, dig out and repairing failed areas, chip seals, full depth reclamation, striping, and signage or a combination thereof based upon evaluation of each road.
