What factors are used in determining which streets are reconstructed each year?
Each spring the Engineering Department performs a condition survey of the hard surface street inventory (asphalt and concrete). Various factors are used in evaluating each street, such as, cracking, potholes, condition of joints and overall riding quality. A survey is done at the same time to determine the condition rating of the curb and gutter section as well. After completing the survey the results are tallied and the streets with the lowest scores are placed on the 5-year reconstruction plan according to score.
