(KLZA)--Have you been jolted recently by driving through a pothole?
Due to the extreme winter weather, potholes have become a real nuisance and they are showing up no matter what area town or city you are driving in.
Falls City, City Administrator Gary Jorn told City Council members Monday evening that the Street Department is trying to get the holes filled in. Jorn said the Street Department has been unable to obtain bulk cold mix for patching so it has been purchased by the bag.
Street Foreman Gary Richey said it took nine tons of material to patch Chase Street, which prompted Jorn to suggest the city may want to do an overlay project on the street next year.
Jorn also noted the wheels are in motion to get the revitalization project underway from 16th and Stone Streets north to 17th Street. A pre-construction meeting was held Monday, April 1. Once the contractor, AHRS of Bern gives the City a start date, it is to take 110 days to complete the work.
