HOLYOKE – City Councilor At Large Kevin A. Jourdain announced today that he is seeking input from the citizens of Holyoke regarding which streets they believe should be placed on the DPW’s 2009 Priority List. The DPW annually develops a Priority List for road resurfacing and related work. The City anticipates spending approximately $700,000 this year which is funded through our Chapter 90 State Aid for Highways. Every year, Councilor Jourdain makes it a point to seek the input from his constituents in developing the city’s Priority List. “Over the years, I have been very successful in getting scores of streets in need of resurfacing and sidewalk replacement placed on the DPW’s Priority List,” said Jourdain. Councilor Jourdain is the most senior member of the Finance Committee and has secured tens of millions of dollars in new streets and sidewalks during his tenure on the City Council. “I continue to put my experience to work for the taxpayers by making sure their needs are met.”
If a constituent knows of a street or sidewalk that needs to be replaced, please contact him at (413) 538-5519 or email him at Kevin.Jourdain@verizon.net.
