Street Improvement



               •   Large Asphalt Repairs: Crews remove and replace distressed pavement. At times the removal of distressed
                   pavement also involves removal of subsurface tree roots that are pushing up the surface of the pavement.

               •   Small asphalt repairs, including potholes: Minor defects in the road surface are repaired with hot mix asphalt
                   or cold patch material by dedicated crews that respond to service requests from the public.

            Generally, the approach to pavement preservation incorporates two strategies to help keep the City’s good streets
            in a state of good repair:

               •   The most economical selection of streets and rehabilitation method used; and,
               •   The prevention or slowing of the deterioration of streets.

            FAILED STREETS RECONSTRUCTION PROGRAM

            The Failed Streets Reconstruction Program will provide repair to the most severely damaged streets within the City
            street system.    Approximately  5,560  lane miles  of City streets  are  measured as  failed.  The Failed  Streets
            Reconstruction  Program focuses on these  severely damaged streets  with the lowest ratings.  Failed  streets
            pavement reconstruction addresses damage at the roadway base, located below the surface, and other structural
            issues caused by utility cuts, water intrusion, and other impacts.  Repair of these streets can improve the overall
            condition of the street system and result in safer streets, add to property values, lower liability and litigation costs,
            and encourage bicycling and other modes of transportation.

            The  Failed  Streets  Reconstruction  Program is led  by  the Bureau of  Street Services  with support  from  the
            Department of Transportation, the Bureau of Engineering, and the Department of General Services.

            The Failed Streets Reconstruction Program funding for 2021-22 is summarized as follows:

            COMPLETE STREETS PROGRAM

            The Complete Streets Program combines the reconstruction of failed streets with the installation of safety measures,
            repair of damaged curbs, gutters, sidewalks, and installation of stormwater capture infrastructure.  The Complete
            Streets Program was created in 2017-18, funded through new sources of City revenue that year.  The following
            table represents Complete Streets Program funding to date by funding source:
