“My understanding is that currently the project scope just includes a resurfacing of the road, which I believe means actually tearing up the existing surface and resurfacing from base grade up. I need to actually confirm what the comment period is for that when it comes to the public comment period, because I, at least from the city's perspective, I do have some concerns about the current project scope. They want to just resurface this roadway while not addressing the storm surge damage that continues to happen.”

From the transcript
From the surveyors that were surveying the road. So we received an initial notification that they are preparing that project. My understanding is that currently the project scope just includes a resurfacing of the road, which I believe means actually tearing up the existing surface and resurfacing from base grade up. I need to actually confirm what the comment period is for that when it comes to the public comment period, because I, at least from the city's perspective, I do have some concerns about the current project scope. They want to just resurface this roadway while not addressing the storm surge damage that continues to happen.
