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
