Less TLC for St. Paul streets as budget gets attention
The city's public works director underestimated the cost of street maintenance last year but has plans to make it work this year. Maintenance crews will visit less often and crud will hang around a little longer on the streets of St. Paul, now that the city's Public Works Department is determined to stay within its budget. After a shortfall in the fund used to maintain streets and plow snow last year, the city is looking at cutting back on street-sweeping and seal-coating, among other actions, to save about $1.3 million and ensure the $27 million budget this year is met. Putting money back into cash reserves is another goal.
