Roads Division
During the month of December, the Roads division concentrated their efforts on clearing drainages and culverts. The main focus of the drainage maintenance included downside drains near the edge of the roadways on the arterial and collector streets. Culvert maintenance was focused at:
- Sheeptrail Ct.
- San Juan Dr.
Although they were limited due to weather, the Roads crew patched several utility cuts from recent water break repairs as well as repair potholes in several locations. Notable locations of water break repairs are:
- Fox Ridge
- Martingale (3 repairs)
- Jacaranda (2 repairs)
- Rolling Oak (2 repairs)
- Greenwater
- Deertrail
During inclement weather, the Roads crew focused on tree clearances and regulatory sign replacement. Winter weather also played a factor during the end of the month, when the Roads were cleared the crew would inspect for other hazards such as fallen trees and debris in the roadways.
