face=Arial>I brought this exact problem at this exact intersection to the
attention of the Town Administrator's office in the summer of
last year, so I suspect there has been some movement on this problem. I
know I cannot drive over that part of the road without scraping the
undercarriage of my car unless I very intentionally straddle the wheel
ruts.</FONT></DIV>

repair/replace. I hope we will be holding the contractor
responsible because they obviously did not do the job right. </FONT></DIV>

format=flowed<BR><BR>Bear with me please, I am questions for a specific
reason<BR>Does anyone on this list know the actual standards used
to<BR>reconstruct the town streets?<BR><BR>Please do not tell me to look at such
and such source of<BR>information.<BR>A number of streets were reconstructed a
couple of years ago.<BR><BR>If you look closely, especially during rain storms,
you will perhaps<BR>notice some ruts beginning to appear on SOME of the
streets<BR>especially Riverdale Road. One simple example is Riverdale
and<BR>Taylor, East bound at the stop sign.<BR><BR>There is a standard used for
calculating the requirements for<BR>streets and it is based on traffic load. One
term used is ESAL,<BR>or Equivalent Single Axle Load. Cars represent a
much lighter<BR>weight/mass load on the road than buses, trucks, multi
axle<BR>trucks, even fire trucks.<BR><BR>I am interested in learning if anyone
on this list does actually<BR>know the standard used.<BR><BR>thank you/<BR>bob
