Many of the streets included in the program have not undergone any significant rehabilitation within the last twenty years. More…

We need your help… Please avoid walking, riding or marking on all wet cement areas. Correcting the damage caused not only delays the project but can result in additional costs to the City. The City and the contractors will be monitoring daily for damages. Anyone caught causing damage will be required to pay any costs incurred to repair the damage. Thank you for your cooperation.
