Northern Drive being resurfaced


A note of caution: Milling (prepping roads for resurfacing) has begun on a section of Northern Drive, heading down into Lansingburgh. (Coming back up, too, now that I think of it.)

That portion of Northern had gotten so bad, the rough part of the road awaiting a new topping actually is smoother, as we noticed while heading down there the other day.

Says Mayor Harry Tutiunjian, "We are happy to see that the project will be completed in the near future. We realize there are many other areas of the City that are in need of work. We ask that those residents be patient, and we will try as best we can to pave the streets in the greatest need of repair this year.”

We had hoped Hyland Circle would be one of those, but even though it is beginning to show some wear there are many other streets in the City in much worse shape. If we're lucky, we'll get some City attention, but don't hold your collective breath until we do.
