However, Robinson voiced frustration about several resurfacing projects linked to the continuing replacement of septic tanks with a sewer system in the Phillippi Creek basin. "It's not knocking the Phillippi Creek proj- ect, but every time we add [a Phillippi Creek resurfacing plan], we knock a roadway off the list, correct?" she asked Harriott. "We work those streets into the road resur- facing program," Harriott told her regarding roads affected by sewer line installations. "I wouldn't say it's sliding things down." Of the 17 projects on the priority list for 2015- 2019, Items 12 through 16 are for resurfacing in the Phillippi Creek basin area. However, the top priority is the repaving of Knight Trail Road and Laurel Road near Venice at an estimated cost of $2.5 million. Still, Robinson pointed out, when the board voted on the $10 million last year, "We thought we were bringing more streets up [in prior- ity] than we were … We're already behind in roadways, and this is knocking us back even further, correct?" The County Commission has agreed to an extra $400,000 in funding for bus shelters over the next five fiscal years. However, the board reminded staff of its prior agreement to try to stretch the money further by exploring new options for building the facilities.
