Instead of wasting 500K in a piss poor effort that leaves streets with a bunch of patches that get ripped year after the year, the city would be better served with a comprehensive repaving plan that actually rips out existing roads and paves them over smoothly. The current "solution is anything but... the city just re-did 1st Street and it looks as bad as before they came, and the result is just AWFUL: the surface is just a mess of bumps.
