Now, five years later with no major
work on Ingleside street in the mean-
time. the pending capital improvement
bond issue addresses our "deteriorated"
streets with an $8 million boost
The master plan called for two objec-
tives in the street program: a circulation
plan for traffic flow, and a seal and re-
construction program to improve the
streets
Planned for the next five years are ma-
jor improvements and reconstruction for
main traffic arteries, Avenue B, Fourth
Street and Avenue A.
Many neighborhood streets are includ-
ed in the repaving proposal and some
streets will require a new stabilized base
before paving is possible.
The 1979 master plan recommended
that a short-range street plan include
basic improvements to streets within
five years (1984), along with adequate
drainage and additional right of way for
widening some streets.
The paving program suggested in the
master plan was first estimated at *1.2
million. The figure quoted today for pav-
ing Is approximately *4 million, plus an
additional *4 million for necessary drain
age to ensure the quality of the new
streets
In 1979, the master plan outlined 24
miles of streets in Ingleside needing ma-
jor repairs. The pending bond election
proposes to reconstruct or repave 15
miles
