62 out of 216
Roads, roads everywhere but no money to fix them.
At last week’s city council meeting, Public Works Director Ralph Reigelsperger said 62 miles of road out of the city’s 216 were in critical or poor condition. A total overhaul of city roads to restore them to excellent condition would cost about $66 million. Even getting them to good condition, would run the city about $62 million.
By way of comparison, Hamilton&’s general fund was budgeted at just under $49 million and even that is expected to be about $600,000 above what the city thinks it will make this year.
Without squabbling over how road conditions got to this point, where should road improvements rank on the city’s priority list and what’s the best solution?

I’d like to thank the City of Hamilton for finally filling in the potholes on Clinton Ave between Zimmerman and Putnam. I reported the potholes on 03/29/2008 at 2:46pm. I noticed that the potholes were filled in on 04/01/2008 when I was on my way home from work.
