The Clintonville Finance Committee will consider a town of Matteson request to repair Airport Road.
Duwayne Federwitz, town chairman, recently sent a letter to Toby Kersten, Clintonville’s public works manager, asking that the city consider prioritizing the road’s repair.
Airport Road runs from County Road I to Seventh Street in Clintonville and is about a mile long. The north half of the road is maintained by the township; the city is responsible for the south half of the road.
The estimate to apply gravel, grind the aggregate and repave the road would be about $60,000, Kersten told the city’s street committee.
“To cold patch it is like throwing money out the window,” said Kersten, who agreed the highly traveled road is in terrible need of repair.
However, there is no money in his budget to fix the road, which at least should be graveled, Kersten said.
“This is a safety issue. You can travel 25 miles per hour at best on the road,” Alderman Jim Krause said.
The street committee voted to refer the issue to the finance committee.
