Street and Alley Resurfacing and Repair

The Public Works Department has staff that does minor maintenance to streets and alleys including pothole repair and minor patches.  Major street and alley work is handled by contractors working for the City. Annually the City has a contractor resurface streets and alleys.  A database is maintained by the Engineering Division of the Public Works Department with the condition of all City maintained streets.  This information is used to help determine which streets will be resurfaced each year.

Resurfacing a street may also including milling off the existing surface, spot repairs, and adjustments of manholes and other utilities in the street.  During certain stages of construction parking will be prohibited during the day, typically from 7 AM – 5 PM.  At times access to driveways will be limited for a few hours. A representative of the Public Works Department oversees the construction work.  If there are any special needs or concerns, please contact the Engineering Division of the Public Works Department at 434-2225.

The City Council approved the resurfacing and strip mill program on June 22, 2009.  A separate contract was approved on July 27,2009 for street and alley repair.

The resurfacing dates are tentative and subject to change.  This site will be updated as work progresses.

The streets that are concrete will have cracks and potholes cleaned and patched prior to getting two layers of asphalt.
