MISSION

The mission of the Streets Division is to provide quality service relating to the maintenance of the city’s infrastructure, improving the quality of life for citizens through timely response, and recognition of present and future needs.

WELCOME TO THE STREETS DEPARTMENT

Welcome to the Street Maintenance Department! We are dedicated to providing the highest quality of service and ensuring that street rehabilitation projects are completed on time and within budget. Within the City, there are more than 80 centerline miles of city streets and alleyways for which the Street Maintenance Division is charged with maintaining and rehabilitating.

Currently, the 2009-2013 Capital Improvement Plan (CIP), a plan which is approved by City Council annually, provides guidance on the projects to be completed during the current and upcoming fiscal years.  The CIP was developed to enable divisions in Public Works (Streets, Water, Wastewater, and Gas) to coordinate efforts and eliminate redundancy in planning. The CIP is a rolling, 5-year plan which calls for additional projects to be added to the program each upcoming year during budget season.
