Report Details

AI-generated, reviewed by reporter

Newly completed road project on Military Trail shows missing or damaged erosion control geotextile mats on the road shoulder near the guardrail, exposing soil and gravel. The reporter indicates multiple defects are visible along this stretch of road, suggesting systematic quality control issues that require inspection by the city contractor.

Description

Erosion control geotextile mats on road shoulder have been damaged or removed. This material protects the road, reduces debris on the roadway, supports the guardrail area, as well as preventing sediment from affecting sensitive ecological habitats nearby. This road project was recently completed and I expected much higher quality workmanship. This should be inspected by the city contractor, as well as this entire stretch of road because there are many visible defects elsewhere.
