Streets Need Repair

Residents who are surveying street conditions estimate that half of the city’s 800 to 900 streets need resurfacing or major repair. A city employee said the cost of bringing all streets up to standards would be $85 million.

Beyond streets that need immediate attention, a significant portion of the remaining ones are overdue for slurry-sealing. When the asphalt’s color turns gray to light gray, the waterproof seal has worn off. If the street is neglected instead of sealed, the deterioration accelerates.

Nearly 200 specific streets have now been identified by community watchdogs and other residents as needing immediate repair. Some of these streets are not scheduled for resurfacing for at least two years.
