Why are some streets receiving street maintenance, but appear to be in really good condition?
Proper maintenance is what makes your car, house and street last so long. If an overlay is placed while a street is still in relatively good condition, the street will continue to function properly for many years. It is important to protect the City’s investment in the street system and maintain streets before they deteriorate beyond repair. Streets requiring complete reconstruction are extremely expensive. In 2011, the Street Maintenance Department will spend approximately 65% of the total budget to maintain good streets and 35% to reconstruct streets in poor condition.
