Pavement Maintenance
The purpose of the Street Maintenance Section is to provide asphalt and concrete (street, sidewalks, curbs and gutters) maintenance, litter removal, and weed/trash abatement services in order to maintain safe, clean, and functional rights-of-way.
Currently, the City’s street maintenance is delivered through two principal methods: Capital Improvement Projects (CIP), which are developed, coordinated, and administered by the Capital Improvements Division, and by Public Works Maintenance and Operations Division.
Generally, preventive maintenance work is of a larger scale and is accomplished through Capital Improvement Projects. Examples of preventive street maintenance activities include surface treatments such as slurry seals and cape seals which may extend the service life of the street from 5-7 years. On the other hand, street repairs that are undertaken reactively as a matter of urgency or for safety reasons as part of the City's daily operations are performed by the Maintenance and Operations Division. Examples of these activities, which are performed by Street Maintenance crews, include pothole repair, minor street reconstruction, trench cut repairs, and skin patching.
