Woodlake begins citywide street project
June 16, 2009
In the next two weeks, the City of Woodlake will repair 20 percent of its roads using recycled tires and Measure R funds.

Work started this week on the City of Woodlake’s two-week citywide rubberized chip seal project, said Ruben De Leon, Superintendent of Public Works for the City of Woodlake.  The City of Woodlake is using $368,477 in Measure R local program funds for the project so that the work can be done now, because the roads are in need of repair and can be fixed with this form of maintenance. The money will be repaid with the City’s Measure R local program funds, which on average amount to $82,343 a year.

Overall, $22 million has been received this fiscal year compared to $22.6 million at this time last year.
