The Dalles Mayor Steve Lawrence is proposing repaving Thompson Street between 10th and 19th Streets, but he may not have support from City Councilors to move forward. Lawrence wants to use funds not used for the current Scenic Drive renovation to do the repaving on a base that would be strengthened by cement. The process would cost over $86,000, and Public Works Director Dave Anderson said he would want to go ahead with a long-planned $250,000 extension of the stormwater line that funds are available for through the wastewater reserve fund. Lawrence thinks the repaving of Thompson falls under a Council directive to focus street spending on maintenance. But some Councilors weren’t as certain a Thompson project would fall under their street maintenance definition at least for the upcoming fiscal year, with Taner Elliott suggesting taking another look next year. The subject will come before Council again next month, but Lawrence was not optimistic it would move forward.
