Public Works Operations Manager Nancy Hernandez said, “Our City’s program is a six-year plan that includes an inventory of roadways with condition ratings and prescribed treatment methods.”
The program was funded for the first time in 2021.
“We appreciate everyone’s patience as we catch up on a backlog of roadways,” City Manager James Slaton said.
This next phase of construction will account for the resurfacing of 23 segments of roadways. Segments of 12 roadways were recently resurfaced in 2023 with either a cape seal or a double-micro slurry of liquid asphalt.
