Department/Program:

 054 Streets

Fund:

 240 Street Fund

The street fund repairs, maintains and improves more than 28 centerline miles of streets inside the city limits. Funding for street sweeping, street lighting and traffic signal power costs also come from this fund. For more information on the street program, see the Streets Program Review (2005).

Major maintenance activities in the street fund consist of traffic line and parking stall striping, traffic control sign repair and installation, weed control in rights-of-way, snow and ice control and street sweeping.

The City uses a computerized Pavement Management System to prioritize street maintenance projects. With the Local Option Fuel Tax providing a stable source of funding we try to complete approximately $120,000 worth of street maintenance (asphalt overlays and surface treatments) annually. The amount of street work, (in miles or square yards for example) is difficult to quantify since some years may involve costlier maintenance over a smaller area and some years may have relatively inexpensive projects covering many streets.

The streets proposed for maintenance during the next five years of the program can be seen on the City’s website at : cityhall.sandynet.org/pw/Streets/11x17_180000_5_yr.pdf
