To report street damage contact the Mayor's Action Center (MAC) by calling 327-4MAC (327-4622) or visiting the MAC online. The Department of Public Works (DPW) will inspect to determine the required action. If minor repairs are required, the Street Maintenance Section of Public Works will schedule the street for corrective repairs. If the street needs to be resurfaced or reconstructed, DPW will evaluate the street for possible inclusion in a future program.
DPW will use approximately 18,500 tons of asphalt repairs in order to make the streets smoother and safer. In addition, crews expect to grind down or scrape off patching humps in 2007. DPW will place bituminous mixtures to fill potholes, edge failures, and other surface deterioration. When warranted, crews replace the pavement with full depth asphalt. DPW will continue to upgrade its patching capabilities through the purchase of more efficient equipment and materials.
