The Streets and Traffic Section provides maintenance and control of city streets, alleys, and drainage structures. The city maintains all roadways within city limits.
Crews routinely inspect streets.
Paving and chip-seal, also known as resurfacing of asphalt roadways, is conducted in the late spring and summer months. These projects are planned several months in advance. Here are some before and after pictures of a wash when the City employees, with help from Department of Corrections Inmate Labor from the Douglas Prison facility, were finished with it. This applies to public utilities and contractors, as well as individuals. The city maintains 17 traffic signals.
