Street Division History ||  Public Works Home 

The Street Division is responsible for the maintenance and repair of 221 lane miles of street pavement (62 lane miles of concrete streets and 159 lane miles of asphalt streets), approximately 200 miles of concrete and asphalt curbs, seven city bridges, subdivision walkways, drainage culverts under roadways, traffic controls signs and pavement markings, over 14 acres of public grounds at 56 locations, and trees on public grounds and along the public rights-of-way.

Street maintenance and repair includes patching of deteriorated asphalt pavement, crack filling of asphalt and concrete streets, sealing of bridge decks, routine cleaning of street pavement, removal of dead animals from city streets, snow/ice removal from street pavement and sidewalks adjacent to public buildings and grounds, and removal of dead trees and hazardous limbs on public rights-of-way. Concrete street replacement and asphaltic overlays are performed through contract.

Due to budget restrictions in recent years, the Public Works strategy for street repairs now involves the use of private contractors for asphalt overlays and major street repairs. The Street Division focuses on routine maintenance and small repairs of a maintenance nature. This includes the crack sealing of concrete and asphalt streets, asphalt street patching, bridge deck sealing, repair/replacement of asphalt curbs, forestry operations, sign/pavement markings, maintenance of city property, and street cleaning. New construction, asphalt overlays, and concrete street replacement are contracted out.
