CITY ANNOUNCES 2023 STREETS PROGRAM
The City of Jamestown has announced its annual Streets Program today, with work starting later this month. Due to continued high levels of state aid, the City will be aggressive in implementing an expanded program. The plan focuses on the greatest areas of need for the City, and works to improve the City’s aging streets. Several projects may be added to the list as the season progresses, depending on greater funding availability, as well as weather. Projects are planned to be completed by the end of the summer/all season, depending on the weather, the flow of public funding, contractor availability and the changing price of materials.
Mark Roetzer, Director of Public Works stated, “With the continued increased funding this year we can scale up and work on more CHIPS projects than in previous years. I am proud of the work our team has done to help use this boost of funds to tackle many projects this summer.”
Mayor Sundquist in a statement, applauded the work of DPW Engineers, stating, “This has been an unprecedented time for our City and the continued increased funding will allow us to continue to have a larger scope of projects. I applaud all the work Mark and his engineers did to use these extra funds to address the biggest areas of need on our City Streets.”
Public Works Chairperson Randall Daversa also stated, “I am encouraged by the work the DPW has done to get our streets program in a place where they can do so many projects. I appreciate the chance to have input into the process and I feel as if every project that the City is going forward with is a worthy and necessary project.”
A detailed map of street projects and expected completion dates can be found on the City’s website at www.JamestownNY.gov/2023Streets. Every street is evaluated on the City’s Complete Streets Program.
