With the exception of minor street and concrete repairs (potholes, small paving projects, curb, and sidewalk repairs) the city currently contracts for all other preventative maintenance and reconstructive roadway projects.
The Slurry Seal Project for the Pavement Management Program provides for approximately 30 miles of slurry seal surface preservation on various arterial, collector and residential streets throughout the city. Specifically this project includes: slurry surface treatment of existing roadway sections, and thermoplastic restriping or repainting of pavement markings.
