Unfortunately, we cannot go and pave roads as easily as everyone would like us to. It takes a lot of funding, planning, and timing. After this last Combined Sewer Separation (3, 11 & 12) it will become easier to fund road surfacing projects; however, many of these loans that we have had to take out over the course of the past 10-20 years are either still being paid on or we will be done paying on them within the next 5-10 years.
