Council Member Brannan and DOT officials discuss the department's street resurfacing budget and goals. The conversation covers the reduction in lane miles targeted for resurfacing and the council's request for increased funding.
- DOT's resurfacing budget was increased by $7.9 million for the coming year
- The current lane mile target for resurfacing is 1,100, down from the previous 1,300
- The average cost per lane mile resurfaced is just under $200,000

Okay.
0:36:10
I want to talk about street resurfacing.
0:36:12
I mentioned in my opening remarks the previously stated goal was to resurface 1,300 lane miles annually.
0:36:21
That was reduced to 1,100.
0:36:24
Council called on the administration to increase capital funding for street resurfacing by 40,000,000.
0:36:32
And that was to allow DOT to return to resurface 1,300 lane miles annually.
0:36:39
Was any additional funding related to the council's request to increase the city's repaving effort included in the executive plan?
0:37:35
Okay.
0:37:36
And in FY twenty four, the average cost per lane mile resurfaced was just under $200,000.
0:37:46
Is that still accurate?
0:37:53
Okay.

Thank you.
0:37:00
So our resurfacing budget was increased by 7,900,000.0 this year or this coming year.
0:37:08
And in terms of the lane miles, we're very proud each and every year to always meet our lane mile target.
0:37:15
Resurfacing is critical for us to keep our roadways in good conditions and avoid street defects forming and things of that nature.
0:37:25
We would be open to discussing increasing the lane mile target, But at this time we have that that increase that I mentioned in the budget.
0:37:49
Do we have that?
0:37:51
Yes.
0:37:52
That's correct.
