• Pavement Patching (Various locations in City)

Types of Roadway Maintenance:

Below is a general description of what work is included typically included.

• Resurfacing: Minor resurfacing consists of curb, sidewalk removal/replacement and driveway apron patching as necessary. Not all curb and driveways will be affected. The roadway will also receive a new 2-inch asphalt driving surface.
• Pavement Patching: Pavement patching consists of replacing specific areas of pavement, which have started showing deterioration or potholes. The areas of pavement that are currently showing deterioration are removed and replaced with a 2-inch asphalt surface. This practice promotes a better driving surface and helps extend the life of the pavement.
  

Below are location maps for the east side and west side streets to be resurfaced as part of the 2013 Street Program. These maps were updated as of Sept. 13, 2013.
