Impact analysis
The city spends roughly $3.5–4 million a year on paving to keep the pavement condition index at or above 75.
Residents on the 22 streets being paved this summer and the 11 streets slated for 2027, plus pedestrians and school commuters.
Advocates seeking expanded programs were told reserves are planning capacity, not surplus; AARD's $25,000 request awaits further negotiation.
