MODOT RESPONDS TO PAVEMENT COMPLAINT

This is from the MoDOT website on the condition og the taxiway:
The T-Hangar area contained one section in poor condition. Large amounts of medium-severity alligator cracking were identified throughout Section 10. High-severity alligator cracking was recorded where the pattern cracking was causing loose or missing material. Medium- and high-severity weathering, rutting, and L&T cracking and high-severity raveling were observed. High-severity L&T cracking was recorded where crack widths exceeded 3 in. Low-severity depression was also observed.

Second Informal Complaint-Taxiway Condition:

This informal complaint alleges that the taxiway pavements (in particular, the pavement located in front of the airport hangar) are in poor condition, which creates a hazard to airport users and which

violates Federal Aviation Administration Grant Assurance 19.

Federal Aviation Administration Grant Assurance 19, Operation and Maintenance, states in part that

The airport and all facilities which are necessary to serve the aeronautical users of the airport... shall be operated at all times in a safe and serviceable condition and in accordance with the minimum standards as may be required or prescribed by applicable Federal, state and local agencies for maintenance and operation.

Please provide a response to our office concerning the condition of the taxiway and any planned actions by the City to ensure that the taxiway pavement is maintained in a safe condition.

Please provide our office with information to address both of these concerns by June 1. If you should have any questions, please feel free to contact me at 573-526-7912. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
