Surface repairs are made routinely to the 83 miles of
street throughout the City. Potholes are filled with a cold patch
material during the rainy season, and a hot mix whenever possible.
Badly damaged sections of street are cut out, removed, and repaved to
prevent further deterioration. The Streets Division works together with
the Water Services Division of Public Works to pave over water leak
repair excavation sites, following the completion of underground
repairs to the water system.

City-owned sidewalks and paths are maintained and
inspected by the Public Works Streets Division. Uneven sidewalk
sections caused by subsidence, concrete expansion, or tree root growth
are promptly repaired when discovered. If temporary repairs are made
with asphaltic material, either City personnel or a private contractor
replaces the damaged section of sidewalk, usually within one year,
depending upon availability of funding.
