Chillico委员会选择在Mulberry街保留历史砖块, Chillicothe council chose to preserve historic bricks on Mulberry Street, opting for costly but long-lasting restoration over cheaper asphalt.

Chillicothe市议会委员会投票反对用沥青取代Mulberry街的历史性砖铺路面, The Chillicothe City Council committee voted against replacing historic brick pavement on Mulberry Street with asphalt, opting instead to preserve as many original bricks as possible despite higher upfront costs. 在长期耐久性和历史价值的驱动下,决定优先清除手掌,以挽救大约60%的砖块,尽管必须重建街道的根基以保障安全。 The decision, driven by long-term durability and historical value, prioritizes hand removal to salvage about 60% of the bricks, though the street’s foundation must be rebuilt for safety. 尽管沥青最初成本较低,但每10至15年需要更换一次,从而导致较高的长期费用。 While asphalt would cost less initially, it requires replacement every 10–15 years, leading to higher long-term expenses. 新的人行道,虽然比前期贵3.35倍, 持续多达100年, 缩短施工时间。 New pavers, though 3.35 times more expensive upfront, last up to 100 years and reduce construction time. 该项目的资金大体上是固定的,因此选择反映了成本、安全、保存和长期节约之间的平衡。 The project’s funding is largely fixed, so the choice reflects a balance between cost, safety, preservation, and long-term savings.
