Street Patching & Repairs

City Streets -  most internal 25 mph streets-

The city fills potholes on our City streets as needed and responds to resident reports to take care of it quickly in addition to periodically drive all 4 zones of the City and fill-in any issues they find.

 

We have many road sections in town that need to be repaved but within our budget we only do some small patching based on severity. Some streets need potholes to be filled more often.
