(KAIR)--Two sections of two Atchison brick streets-200 East Mound Street and the 300 block of Laramie-will be converted to asphalt as an exception to City policy regarding such changes.
In 2019, the Atchison City Commission adopted what's called a “like for like” policy to maintain street surface types as they are unless it is warranted and approved by the commission to change the surface type.
City of Atchison Public Works and Utilities Director Clinton McNemee, during Monday's meeting of the Atchison City Commission, explained the Mound Street section would be converted to an asphalt surface while the Laramie Section would mean the conversion from brick to a full depth asphalt street.
As for cost, removing the brick in the 300 Block of Laramie Street and replacing with full-depth asphalt, in addition to replacing the concrete curb & gutter would be approximately $50,000, as compared to the more than $189,000 price tag for a rock-based brick street, or $300,000 plus for a concrete base.
The cost for the overlay in the 200 block of East Mound is $20,000.
Following Commission and staff discussion, including a possible, future revision of the "Like for Like" street concept, the Commission unanimously approved the resolution authorizing the change from brick to asphalt in those two areas.
