Report on Road Conditions at
BROOKFIELD LAWN and SUMMERSTOWN
Mr Kevin Terry City engineer reported to Council
September, 1999
A visual inspection has been carried out of
Brookfield Lawn and Summerstown Estate consisting of
Summerstown Road, Summerstown Drive, Summerstown Avenue, Summerstown Grove
and Southbury Road. Like many other housing estate roads in the city their
construction consists of a thin layer of bituminous pavement on a gravel
road base. They have suffered from the ravages of increased levels of
traffic, the necessary excavations for utilities, and foreseeable material
degradation.
All of these roads would indeed benefit and in some cases are in urgent
need of localised strengthening and full resurfacing. Indeed in 1998,
portion of Summerstown Road was reshaped and resurfaced. These roads are
among those being considered for the Resurfacing Programme for the year
2000.
However as had been indicated previously, the extent and quality of the
Resurfacing Programme is dependant on the availability of funding.
1 will again be recommending that representations be made to Central
Government to provide assistance of a similar
nature to that provided for the very successful Non-National Roads Renewal
Programmes for the Counties over the past number of years. |
