Road Repairs

Crack Sealing

Crack sealing extends road life by keeping moisture, that will eventually cause asphalt failures, from getting into the road base. Roads are inspected and sealed for cracks based on the following priority structure:

Priority One

Roads 0-5 years old


 

Priority Two

Roads 6-15 years old

a. Arterial Roads
b. Collector Roads
c. Residential Roads
d. Rural Roads

Priority Three

Roads 16-20 years old

a. Arterial Roads
b. Collector Roads
c. Residential Roads
d. Rural Roads

 

Pot Holes

Pot holes are repaired as they are discovered or within 48 hours of being reported.

Road Shoulders

Road shoulders are inspected and repaired if warranted.

Gravel Lanes and Roads

Gravel lanes and roads are graded and dust controlled once a year in the spring, additional services are performed if warranted.

Ditching

All ditches are inspected and repaired if warranted. The City has a detailed GPS based ditch inventory and City Council has adopted a policy dealing with ditches that have been filled in.
