Annual Street Resurfacing
The annual street resurfacing and City alley resurfacing project place an asphalt concrete (AC) overlay on existing street surfaces that are approaching the end of their useful life, as evidenced by cracking and minor pavement failures. Cutouts and repairs of pavement failures, and grinding down the pavement at outer edges and/or curbs may be included. Installation of pavement fabric in addition to pavement striping and stenciling after the resurfacing, repair of damaged sidewalks, ADA ramps, curb and gutter, and minor drainage improvements are also included in this project.
Streets are selected for resurfacing in coordination with a Pavement Management Program (PMP) that provides a City-wide ranking of the condition of all the streets maintained by the City. The actual number of streets resurfaced is dependent upon both the condition of the streets and the bidding climate.
The 2022 Annual Street Resurfacing and City Alley Resurfacing Project is currently in the construction phase.
