Director of Public Works
Frank Simoneaux gave a
rundown of how the city
plans to repair Baytown
streets during the five-year
span.
Simoneaux said asphalt
mill and overlay previously
done by contractors would
be transitioned toward Pub-
lic Works. He said Public
Works’ recommendation
is to phase in large capital
items, as well as staff, over
the next three years with
contractors perfonning the
major concrete street re-
construction. This includes
major thoroughfares and
large sections of residen-
tial streets. Minor concrete
street reconstruction would
be perfonned by Public
Works. This would entail
residential streets measur-
ing a couple of blocks and
panel replacement.
For 2019, Simoneaux
said Rollingbrook Drive is
in design right now.
“We will continue to do
two streets per year in Bay
Oaks Harbor,” Simoneaux
said. “We are taking advan-
tage of having a contractor
who is working on Goose
Creek to add Interlachen
and Mustang as a change
order to his contract, which
save time and mobilization
costs.”
Simoneaux said on the
mill and overlay, Public
Works wants to address the
southern section of Garth,
where they have worked on
the medians.
