Resurfacing of a large number of Decatur streets is expected to begin next week, Operations Manager Jeremy Gilbert told city council at its latest meeting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brooks Construction is nearly finished revamping 52 handicapped ramps, and then will begin milling of streets next week, Gilbert said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Milling is the process of removing the top layer of asphalt to a specified and even depth without disturbing the underlying subbase. This allows new asphalt to be laid down without increasing the height of the street.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Fourteen streets and six alleys will be done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The project has a total construction cost of $1,052,685.26, most of which is funded by the latest state Community Crossings grant acquired by the city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Decatur’s cost via a matching grant is $263,171.30.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, the city is putting forth $235,365 to pave six alley and two streets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following are the streets to be paved through the CC grant:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
