The City has an extensive network of historic streets to maintain. In some cases, these historic streets have aged to the point of needing significant repairs and even full replacement. Preservation of this asset is important from a historic and infrastructure perspective.
The Streets Department has compiled a report with an assessment of the current conditions of the City’s historic streets. The intent of this report is to provide the City with objective results that can be used to prioritize historic streets repair investments.
In 2014, the Streets Department ran a pilot program for the 2014 construction season. The pilot allowed property owners who live on the City’s historically designated street network, to arrange restoration of roadway excavations caused by plumbing repairs with their own contractor(s). The pilot test ran from July 2014 thru December 2014
