In 2017 the city paved/stripe 3.75 miles of streets for a total expenditure of $400,000. In 2016, the city paved just under 3 miles of streets for a total expenditure of $300,000.

Over the next four years, the paving budget will be increased $100,000 per year to meet the paving demand for the city. To view the current paving list, click the links below.

FAQ:Why did my street not get paved?

Streets are graded by city engineering staff on a yearly basis. Street paving is completed based on the street ratings and not particular location in a Ward. Roads with the lowest rating are given priority over higher graded streets. This approach maximizes paving dollars to address the most critical streets each year.
