Street Operations

The City performs operations to maintain the quality of the streets and provide safe and efficient transportation networks. Under the management of the Department of Transportation, a comprehensive asphalt maintenance strategy is implemented. Among the most visible initiatives is the pothole patching function, carried out by seven dedicated work crews equipped with specialized trucks. Annually, these crews effectively patch over 200,000 square feet of City streets, swiftly addressing road surface irregularities that pose hazards to motorists.

In addition to pothole repair, the Department executes a highly cost-effective crack-sealing program. Timed to coincide with colder months, this initiative focuses on sealing pavement cracks, preventing moisture intrusion, and enhancing ride quality. By extending the lifespan of paved surfaces, the program contributes significantly to infrastructure durability and cost savings in the long term.

Moreover, the City dedicates resources to crack sealing on a large scale, with two specialized crews employing trailer-mounted equipment to maintain over 270,000 linear feet of City streets annually. This proactive approach to asphalt maintenance ensures that roads remain in optimal condition, promoting safety and convenience for residents and visitors alike while maximizing the longevity of the City’s infrastructure.
