Street Not Maintained Since the 70's?

Street Not Maintained Since the 70's?













Lin-Kar Drive is a short narrow street off of South Broadway. Over the past year it has had some small changes that will improve the quality of life for everyone. Over the last 30 years the rain water periodically ran like a river down the narrow street, and even flooded a homeowners garage on occasion. Rain water drained from the Sycamore Street access alley, up South Broadway, across Lin Kar where it finally dispersed behind the homes, as the runoff eventually made its way to the neighboring creek. Over the course of this year, a few old storm drains were rehabilitated on south Broadway, and new catch basins were installed to catch much of the rain water at the mouth of Lin Kar Drive. These changes will make travel safer as winter approaches be stream lining the water down storm drains, and preventing ice build up on both streets, Lin Kar and S. Broadway.
In addition, a Street Light Pole was moved from its location in the middle of the caldasac to the edge, which will safely light the street. The change also allowed for machinery and equipment to pave the street at a better rate, and will make maintenance of the street easier in the future.
Just recently, the street was paved with a fresh coat of blacktop. The street was previously worn so bad that much of the area was broken blacktop and gravel. Some people thought it was a gravel road that had not been finished. In fact, it was a nice peaceful block, that had been neglected over the last thirty years, that needed a little bit of boot polish.
The changes and upgrades on Lin Kar, will pave the way for future improvements on S. Broadway, and allow for easier maintenance, as well as creating a better, safer living atmosphere for everyone.
