We have about 16 miles of gravel roads, alleys and shoulders.Looking at usedones. (A new grader is about $180,000 and up) ( split cost between Street & Storm )2. Install storm pump station at Ramer and Polk Street. At this time the area near the Ramersanitary station is a gravity flow to the river for storm water removal. High tides back up in thestorm lines and cause some flooding. Placement of a storm pump with piping and the repair ofdischarge tide gate to the river, would remove flooding problems for the area from Chenault Ave.to Dion Ave. between Lincoln and Roosevelt St.3.Install varible speed drives at K St. sanitary pump station( can be used for storm pump also)4.Install varible speed drive at Queen sanitary pump station ( can be used for storm pump also)5.Install varible speed drive at Ramer sanitary pump station( can be used for storm pump also)6.
