If you have an issue with any of the above streets/roads you can contact the State Highway Department.

City personnel inspect City streets each year and plan repair and resurfacing. Typically, blacktop lasts 15 – 20 years, depending on use, weather and other factors. Repaving is scheduled for the fall because of weather conditions. Residents can help pavement last by preventing chemicals (such as oil, gas and radiator fluids) from spilling or dripping onto streets and cleaning such areas promptly if a spill does occur.

Potholes, damaged pavement that is six or more inches deep and exposes gravel, and scaling, a detached upper layer, usually only one-two inches deep, are troublesome to drivers and can be a safety hazard. For that reason, it is important to report damaged areas as soon as possible to the responsible party, state or City.

Street sweeping and leaf and snow removal also are performed by the Public Works Department. The City has an approved snow removal plan, which prioritizes streets according to their frequency of use as primary, secondary and tertiary roads.

Citizens should contact Public Works to report City streets that need repair or sweeping by calling 859.885.1121 or by filling out a Street Department Work Order Form below.
