Lincoln City reviewing options for needed road maintenance JEREMY C. RUARK Lincoln County Leader
The Lincoln City City Council is reviewing an assessment of the city streets and how repairs and maintenance can be funded. Lincoln City has approximately 53 miles of paved streets, including Roads End, and five miles of gravel streets. “We need to have a schedule for repaving streets so that all of our streets don’t need attention at the same time,” Lincoln City Major Susan Wahlke said. “The streets in
Roads End and Bard are the worst I am aware of. Both of those areas are within our new urban renewal areas, so hopefully can be brought up to good condition with the help of urban renewal funding.” The city council was scheduled to meet in a work session Monday, Oct. 7, to discuss the long-term street repairs, maintenance needs, and what funding sources could be used for such work.
