Why do we have a Street Maintenance Program?

The Street Maintenance Program protects the City’s investment in the street infrastructure by maintaining and repairing City streets. Studies show that maintaining streets is five times more cost-effective than re-building them after they have failed.

How do you decide which streets receive maintenance?

The road crew routinely inspects the roads within the City before deciding when and what type of maintenance is needed. We look for common surface deficiencies such as generally deteriorated surfaces, cracks, and pavement distortions. We use a variety of information including prior maintenance to help determine the most cost-effective treatment and appropriate time to apply the treatment.

How do I find out which streets have been selected for maintenance?

You can check the Street Maintenance Map or the Street Maintenance Schedule to see which streets will be serviced this year.

What are the different types of maintenance?

For the 2011 Street Maintenance Program, we have planned:
For more information about the treatment types, please see the Street Treatment Definitions page.

My street is on one of the maintenance lists. What day will the maintenance be completed?

Most of the work in the maintenance program requires good weather and only one or two days to complete. Treatments cannot be applied in rain and cold weather. As the date of your street’s work approaches, the contractor will post signs and you will receive a door hanger with dates and construction details. You should also check the current update schedule on the City’s web page.

Will I still be able to get to my home while they are doing maintenance?

If your street is receiving an overlay or crack filling, every effort is made to keep access to your home available. There are brief periods, when the asphalt has been applied, it is extremely hot and the contractor may limit access to your street. You will be notified several days prior to any road closures or access limitations, the advance notice will provide time to identify off-street parking.

Emergency access will be maintained at all times

Will my yard be damaged?

On streets that are milled and overlaid damaged curb sections and non-compliant curb ramps will be replaced prior to the surface treatments. Lawn areas affected by the curb replacements will be fully restored.

Yard restoration is typically one of the last items the contractor performs.
