The Streets and Drainage Division maintains the streets, drainage, rights-of-way, and sidewalks within the City’s corporate limits in accordance with local and State laws. This division provides a street sweeping and storm water inlet cleaning program to minimize the pollution entering our lake systems. All curbed streets are swept on a weekly basis. All storm inlets are inspected and cleaned (if necessary) on an annual basis.
The City resurfacing program is funded with gas tax revenues. Each year, the City budgets over $200,000 for asphalt overlays to the existing street systems. Typically, the streets need to be resurfaced every 15 years to prevent costly pothole repairs.
The City sidewalk repair and maintenance program is funded with gas tax revenues. Each year the City budgets over $50,000 for sidewalk repairs and new sidewalk installation to provide improved connectivity and pedestrian safety.
