5. COMMUNICATIONS FROM THE PUBLIC
a. Hubert Hecke, 871 Don Cubero, Santa Fe, NM 87505
This is an old issue having to do with paving, repaving and curb and gutter. Recently observed the worse and best practice, in that pattern, in the same intersection of Don Diego and W. Buena Vista. Don Diego got repaved in such a way that the asphalt is now 1” and 1”½ higher than the curb and gutter, which is a dangerous situation for bicycles. However right 10 feet to your left if you look at W. Buena Vista it got repaved in a way that I would prefer that there’s a curb and asphalt right up to the curb, beautiful job. I was not aware that anybody from the City crews knew how to do that but clearly they do. So, I would like for somebody at the committee to talk to the Engineer’s and say we want it that way W. Buena and not that way Don Diego. I thought it was interesting that the best practice and worse practice were right there, side by side. Anyway that’s my comment and I know that it’s an old issue I don’t know if it’s already been brought to an Engineer or if the City crews knew. Or if this a reaction to any of our requests because I know this has been around for a long time so anyway that’s my comment, thank you.
