Streets/Shop Department

 

There are over 37 miles of streets and 11 miles of alleys that the City of Powell Streets Department maintains. The Streets Department can be reached at 754-9513. Before calling with any questions you may wish to check our Frequently Asked Questions, Maintenance Schedule, or Other Information, which may answer your questions.

 

For your convenience to report potholes, or other maintenance items that you wish to inform us of, you can also e-mail us at: streets@cityofpowell.com but please use this only for normal correspondence, not for an emergency.

 

Along with the Streets Superintendent, your City of Powell Streets Department consists of a team of 5 highly qualified individuals who are responsible for the repair and maintenance of all City streets including: street repairs and pothole repairs, street signs, street markings, street rebuilds, alley maintenance and repairs, city owned concrete maintenance, and a myriad of other services and public response help.

 

Along with the above services there is also a full-time sweeper who sweeps all of the City streets and, in times of snow, sweeps the public walk paths that are designated in the City of Powell for snow sweep service.

 

The City Maintenance Shop is combined with the Streets Department. The City maintains numerous pieces of equipment for daily operations. The phone number at the City Shop is the same as for the Streets Department.

The primary election is over and now it’s on to the general. Once again, we had a pretty good turnout in the Powell precincts. It’s still a big deal to go out and vote.

One issue that was on the ballot and was beaten was the 1% sales tax issue for the West Park Hospital. The group campaigned in Cody but weren’t very aggressive in Powell, which could be one of the reasons it garnered only around 15% of the vote here. They didn’t do any local radio, ran a few ads in the Powell Tribune, and hoped to gather big crowds at their two presentations in town. How many showed up? 3 People attended the two meetings. Now, I am not expecting a hospital district to run a smooth and sharp campaign. Political novices usually seek out help in a campaign and I don’t think they did. They stumbled coming out of the gate and failed miserably in convincing the voters of their cause. There were a few campaigns that worked well and one was from a novice. Loren Grosskopf picked up a number of votes in the Republican primary for County Commissioner and seems pretty solid to move on in November. Tim French was the top vote getter again, while Joe Tilden finished third. Both Grosskopf and French hit the bricks, talking to people in Powell and Meeteetse, and it seemed to do the trick. Meeteetse diluted its candidate base while Powell went more toward Vicki Gibson, a local candidate. The top three vote getters for the Republicans didn’t stumble at the candidates’ forums, hit the airwaves, pressed the palms (shook hands), and got ink on the fingers (newspaper).I don’t know if the landfill issues played a big part in the primary or not. The amount of candidates in the primary for County Commissioner showed that there were a lot of people who felt that they could do better. Issues from the Northfork, salary increases, Sheriff cars, the Marathon building, and just a general distaste for incumbents spelled doom for two of the three running again. French’s campaign message was that he was NOT like those other two. It seemed to work. So take a deep breath and get ready again. It’s a couple more months of campaigning before the general election. With it being an off year, the turnout may not be very big.

Except maybe in Powell, where we like to vote.
