City identifies failing street

The St. James Street Department identified Gardenia Court as a failing street that will need repairs to fix alligator cracks. Workers tested the street last week and discovered the road base was not thick enough, leading to its deterioration.

Public Works Director Lyle Thomas explained that a similar situation had to be addressed on the next road over as the base was not thick enough to support the traffic. The city had to dig up the street, reinforce the base, and pour new asphalt to solve the problem.
