Four thoughts:

1: For the seventy some miles of unpaved roads do large gulleys count as pot holes ? Will the "Patch and Roll" address putting down new gravel to fill the gulley ?

2: Has anybody thought that maybe the residents might prefer the gravel road to asphalt, curbs, sidewalks, bike lane, and loss of a more rural feel to their street.

3. Gravel is less expensive that asphalt, so we should be able to "level and fill" all the unpaved streets for far less than "improving" only some.

4. Gravel allows water to soak-in not run-off.
