The City of Mount Pearl has rejigged it’s 2022 Gas Tax application, favouring storm sewer repairs on Topsail Road over new asphalt for Maisonneuve Drive and Commonwealth Avenue.
The original application, approved during the June 14 meeting, included seven streets to be fit for new asphalt. Those streets were Mount Carson Avenue, Commonwealth Avenue, Richard Nolan Drive, Maisonneuve Drive, Worrall Crescent, Talon Place and Benson Place.
A new version of the Gas Tax Application, revised to address the Topsail Road sinkhole, was presented to council a few weeks later on June 28. Topsail Road Storm Sewer Repairs have been added to the list, and Maisonneuve Drive and Commonwealth Avenue have been switched out
The motion was made with no discussion.
City staff explained to The Pearl that during the current Topsail Road storm sewer repair work, additional deteriorated pipe was discovered.
