The City’s $7.4 million 2020 Resurfacing Project is almost wrapped up for the year, repaving 37.5 miles of streets as well as about 50 speed humps for Neighborhood Traffic Safety traffic-calming projects in six neighborhoods.
Did you know that the City each year paves roughly the same number of miles of streets in each City Council district? Or that major traffic arteries get fresh asphalt every 10 years?
Parity – equal miles resurfaced in each part of the City – is mandated in the City Code. Another round of repavings will start up again with warm weather in 2021.
