Laying down new pavement along Lexington streets is something that often interests both citizens and Council members representing residents. Members of the Council’s Environmental Quality and Public Works Committee got an update this week. Responding to a question about when new asphalt comes into play, Streets and Roads Director Rob Allen said it varies quite a bit.
“It has to do with traffic count and for example, an arterial road could be five to seven years whereas a local road, we’re probably more in the 25-year range and collectors fall somewhere in-between,” said Allen.
