Big News About Repairs To City Roads


Roads and water top the list when it comes to things that annoy Saint Johners; now, it looks like some city streets will be getting an overhaul to the tune of $7.6 million.

Common Councillor Shirley McAlary tells CHSJ News she'll be happy to see streets like
Somerset and Douglas Avenue get a facelift; however, it can't stop there. She says while this initial funding committment will definitely take us a long way, next year's budget will also have to commit further funds to repair the streets.

Allocating that kind of money to repair and resurface the roads is basically unheard of in recent memory.
