Interesting Shawn and thanks for sharing!!
I wonder if this is a 'simple' repaving project or whether it can/will be linked with some other ideas that have been discussed re: Thurston in past 'visioning' events..... I also wonder if i might be able to convince them to come and fill in the long low spot that sits in front of my house and collects water, ice and leaves :-)

It will be interesting to see what comes of this, like you said Margy. I think it's just a repaving. There are many other streets that are listed, but the heading for the bidding process was for Thurston Road.

well, the last time i called the city about this 'low spot' they told me that they had it on record as something to be done and then gave me a long story about not having any money to fix it, etc, etc, etc......this is going on 5 or 6 years. 2 years ago they dug up some stuff right in front of my house (water mains or something) - they were literally right there with blacktop, roller, etc- I asked whether they might be able to just do a little 'patch' and they said that they would like to, but couldn't because it wasn't part of their 'job' that day - go figure!
