City officials outlined why certain streets will be oiled with the city matching funds only after property owners on those streets deposit their chosen amount. The targeted routes include Fourth, Fifth and Sixth streets to Spring Hill road, Spring Hill road to Park Drive, a segment from Highway 67 near White Star Laundry to Park Drive, South Washington and Grady between Fifth and Sixth, South Main to Hope High, and South Walnut to the football stadium. These streets lead to public gathering places and bear unusually heavy traffic, justifying the joint funding policy while others would see the city defray only part of the cost.
