Public Works received this via e-mail. The sidewalk near the intersection of Smith Road and Grandview Drive, underneath the railroad tracks is still unswept from the winter's sanding of the streets. Weeds are also growing and it just looks bad. Mr. Arvesen states that this is the third year in a row that he has contacted the city about this problem.
Mr. Walls is very happy that sand on the streets is removed once not needed, especially for children riding bikes etc., but he wonders why the city doesn't "filter/screen" it to recycle it for use during the rest of the winter season? He noted the method of "screening" for re-use - has street dept. considered this? He thinks it would be more cost-effective. If screening for re-use is NOT feasible, could sand be recycled for use as "fill material" for other city projects (Utilities dept.)?
