Chat Holly will be paved in 2010

[Just Curious]

I just heard that they announced last night at the BCC meeting that we got a SCOP (Small County Outreach Program) Grant from FDOT, and they are going to use it to pave Chat Holly. The project has to be done by December 2010, so we should see some progress in the near future.

Are they just going to blacktop Chat Holley, or are they going to rip it up, add pack dirt, compact it, and then repave? According to one of the County Engineers, paving over the existing road will make it pretty for about one year, and then the same holes will come back, because the road was not properly prepped before the existing paving job.

A little of both I think. I spoke to someone in PW and they said that there are some portions that can just be overlayed, but they are planning on ripping up portions where their core samples came back bad.

as if this was an emergency. has anyone driven down that road and seen whats on both sides all the way down? another waste of taxpayer money as far as im concerned. this town has far more er concerns that chat holley road thats for sure. but, it is what it is

What exactly are you talking about? I think fixing chat holly is an emergency.

I'm curious what town you are talking about. All of South Walton is unincorporated.

Chat Holley is a well used public road that is long overdue for repaving - glad to hear progress is being made!

What would that be? Homes that aren't quite luxury status or possible, gasp, a trailer or two? Sounds like we have quite the elitist on our hands.

Also they received the money in the form of a grant which you have to apply for. Generally you have to be very specific about what the money will go towards. I applaud the BCC for going after the money and taking care of a road that makes Mr. Toads Wild Ride seem like a nap on a posturepedic.

im far from an elistist but thanks anyway. im involved in this town and am all over it daily and i can tell you that there are much more emergency's than chat holley road thats for sure. i think it should be paved dont get me wrong, but now isnt the time. thankfully a grant is whats financing it. im for it, just not now.
