City filled nearly two-thirds fewer potholes last year compared to 2015
It takes money to keep city streets in good shape and Jordan Wiseman, the city’s roads and fleet manager, says there has been a sustained effort to invest in road maintenance that’s made driving a smoother experience.
In 2022, the city reduced its road rehabilitation budget to $5.5 million, down from $5.95 million in 2021. The sidewalk budget was increased to $1.25 million, from $700,000 the previous year. In February, council approved a $6.1 million road budget for 2023.In 2016, the city bought a portable asphalt recycler, which utilizes chucks of pavement left over from utility digs.
Cold patches are used in cold or wet weather to temporary fill holes until more permanent fix can be applied once the weather warms. Asphalt in the city typically becomes available in mid-May or early-June.
