The Town maintains 217 miles of roadways and averages 8.5 miles of paving each year including reconstruction and repaving projects. In 2023, we paved 6.6 miles, which is below the annual target. This is largely attributable to the fact that several arterial roadways were resurfaced this year. These roadways are much wider than local roadways and cost more money to resurface.
The Engineering Division annually performs visual pavement condition assessments at the end of each year. The following link shows the 2022 Pavement Condition Map. This map displays the pavement conditions by colors for either Excellent, Good, Fair, Poor, or Extremely Poor. In 2022, 20 miles of roadways were rated in Extremely Poor condition, while 32 miles of roadways were rated in Poor condition.
Each year, the Town focuses its paving resources toward the Extremely Poor roadways. As part of the repaving effort, the Engineering Division meets with the utility companies to review its tentative list of roadways to be repaved.
