The 2001 crack fill areas included Business Center Drive,Victoria Drive, <br /> North Meadows, Ranch Road, Fresno Street,Avon Acres, Nordic Hills, Ridgewood Hills, <br /> Mississippi Heights and 225th Avenue. <br /> Cold Mill Patches: In 2001,we used a different technique to patch cross cracks and <br /> depressions on Jackson Avenue. We used a cold mill planer attachment on our skid loader to <br /> cut into the bituminous, then switched the skid loader to a paver attachment that we built in <br /> our shop to patch the cut outs. The system proved to be very successful. <br /> Bituminous Patches and Overlay: Bauerly Brothers of Sauk Rapids paved the overlay <br /> project including the following assessed overlays: Victoria Lane, Sunset Ridge, 197`h/198t <br /> Avenue from Evans Street to Ulysess Street, Paradise Park, Pinewood Addition, Freeport <br /> from School Street to Main Street, 2215'Avenue from County Road 1 to Ridges of Rice Lake <br /> and Jarvis Street from County Road 70 to north city limits.

City crews built the catch basins and <br /> patched the bituminous at each site. <br /> Gravel Roads: Each year we try to add Class 5 to about one mile of gravel roads. In 2001, <br /> we used the allotted Class 5 to patch weak places on several of our gravel roads. <br /> Other Projects: Rearrange our offices,remodel a shop mezzanine into a new break room. <br /> Move the mechanic shop from the east end of the building to the west end.
