City's Street Maintenance Program Puts Your Money to Work

In 2006 City Council passed a Street Surface Maintenance Program (SSMP) to protect our roads - a public asset worth more than $65 million dollars. Residents began funding the program in July and the program is already at work. In August crews completed repairs to 37th Avenue from Lake Road to Highway 224 and on 42nd Avenue from Johnson Creek Boulevard to Harvey. 

On 37th Avenue crews leveled the asphalt to smooth the roadway’s heavy ruts and then added a two-inch overlay. On 42nd the roadway was overlayed in one section, and ground down in another before the whole section was paved with a two-inch overlay. 

The SSMP will next target Oak Street between Highway 224 and Monroe and King Road from 43rd Avenue to Hollywood. This work is scheduled for fall of 2007 through summer of 2008.
