STREET CONSTRUCTION CREW UNDER GUN BEFORE SCHOOL STARTS

(Ed's Note: The combined City of Brownsville Engineering and Public Works Department street construction crews continue to work on streets across the city. E. Price Road, Harrison Street and other thoroughfares throughout the city have been serviced and a priority list has been established. 

Above, they have been working on Heritage Trail leading to the Americo Paredes Elementary School. With classes to begin  August 12, they are under the gun to complete the improvements before that deadline. The improvements are estimated to cost around $220,000 using the city crews and equipment.

Residents in the subdivisions around the school have endured the detours, dirt, and noise this past week as the improvements are completed.

The ongoing work encompasses several aspects, including the replacement of curbs and gutters, as well as the process of milling and overlaying the street surface. A grateful District 2 commissioner Linda Macias thanked the crew for their outstanding work on streets in her district and the rest of the city, especially the job they did on Old Port Isabel Road between E. Price and Jaime Zapata

The need to repair city streets is staggering, according to city staff. They estimate that it could easily surpass the $500 million mark and instead they have targeted the most-traveled thoroughfares and made them their priority. So they are doing it de poco a poco. If you're interested in attending meetings between the Cameron County Regional Mobility Authority and the City of Brownsville, call city commissioner Macias to find out their next meeting on streets that may affect your area.

For now, crew leaders advice motorists to use caution when negotiating the street and to keep an eye out for moving heavy equipment and city workers.)

Logitech considers releasing a mouse you buy once and pay for 'forever' sort of like a lease that never ends, an apartment, a rental, a bank account, your monthly divorce decree, your children and of course your suegra....

Next year, as soon as the school terms ends, they should start working on the schools areas.

Also painting schools, cleaning with Clorox, etc before the students arrive to the schools.

Protect the students on the road and their schools.

10:01 a.m. wrong and old news. The wealthy doctors have been cut off from accessing Boca Chica for at least 6 months. Any fool can see they have been redoing the road over the resaca, only. That have not been doing all of Owens. Somehow, I think if anyone could push this along it is the millionaire doctors who can no longer access Boca Chica. How it takes this long to redo the road over the resaca is beyond me.
