Roadway Maintenance Program
Total Budget Roads: $6.5 million
– Contract Resurfacing:
$5.3 million
– Alley Maintenance/Pothole Patching: $1.2 million
Program Overview
• Program reviewed in its entirety without the distinction of City
or PPRTA labels
• Consistent with the City’s existing roadway maintenance
priorities
PPRTA maintenance program was designed to allow us to achieve
specific objectives:
– Increase Contract resurfacing program
– Enhance Alley maintenance & pothole patching programs
-Currently City contracts for $1.1M in contract overlay with private
sector through existing CIP
- City also contracts approximately $1.9 million in hot mix used
for in-house work (includes overlay/ pothole patching and other dig-out
prep type activities).
- Additionally City expends approx. $800,000 for alternative
treatments such as chip seal and slurry seal programs
- Approximately $400,000 is transferred to Traffic Engineering for
pavement striping and other related expenditures
- Annual production: approximately 35-40 miles of overlay, 25 or
so miles of Slurry Seal & 15 miles of Chip Seal
Alley Maintenance/Pothole Patching
• PPRTA funds will allow the City to Accomplish Two Primary
Objectives
– Establish an orderly maintenance programs for alley and other
unpaved roads
– Allow the City to respond to pothole maintenance service
requests within 72 hours
- City Council provided additional Essential Needs funding in 2004
– Concentrated efforts on areas requiring urgent attention.
– Unfortunately, lack of maintenance over the years has
deteriorated the condition to a level that we are now looking at more
cost intensive solutions like major reconstruction in some cases not
just for the roads, but also the associated drainage systems.
– PPRTA funds will allow the City to make those improvements
