The maintenance of over 876 miles of city owned streets is the responsibility of the Streets Division. In 1992, the responsibility  for paving and reconstructing our city's road system was also assigned to this division. Since that time, hundreds of  miles of roads have received pavement overlays. Other areas of maintenance responsibilities include street sweeping, applying micro surfacing to curb and gutter areas. The Department uses a pavement management system to evaluate street conditins and determine the paving schedule. A five year road maintenance program has been developed and is updated each year. This division is funded 100% through the Road and Bridge Fund.

A catch basin cleaning schedule has also been implemented. The main focus of this program is to target those streets with curb and gutter inlets.
