Paving ($149 million)
This bond allows the City to make long-overdue and urgently needed repairs to create a safer driving, walking and biking experience for everyone. Repairs and repaving projects are to be implemented for 2,300 city blocks over the three years of the program, of which approximately 1,400 are bond funded. Bond funds were first made available in March 2012.
What streets will be paved?Almost one out of five city blocks will be resurfaced over the course of the bond program. The selected streets are distributed across the City (PDF of three-year paving candidates map). Also view the projects map with real-time updates on status of projects. How are the streets chosen?Street selection is prioritized by using several factors:
1. primary use of the route, i.e. transit, bikes, major business, residential 2. the condition of the street's pavement 3. project readiness 4. equitable distribution across the City |
