Weatherford says $3 million street resurfacing program has repaved 15 lane‑miles; council to keep funding
Summary
City public works staff reported at the council retreat that the city has allocated $3 million for street maintenance in the current program, including $1 million specifically for major thoroughfares; contractors have completed about 15 lane miles and staff plans an additional 7.5 lane miles next fiscal year.
Weatherford City Council retreat — Public works staff told council the city’s current street maintenance program has been running for two years and has repaved about 15 lane‑miles of major thoroughfares so far. The program is funded at $3 million per year; $1 million of that is dedicated to thoroughfare resurfacing.
Program details: Matt (Public Works staff) said the city has contracted larger crews that can complete busy arterial projects with minimal disruption, and conservative initial estimates by vendors have allowed the city to add roads once primary projects were finished. “Initially when we estimate these we've so far we've had pretty conservative estimates. That has allowed us to be able to come back after the fact, do some additional roadways, help maximize those dollars,” Matt said. He noted the program does not replace the city’s in‑house neighborhood street rehabilitation work, which continues separately.
Results and outlook: The city completed approximately 15 lane‑miles of resurfacing on thoroughfares over the past two years and programmed about 7.5 lane‑miles for fiscal year 2026. Council members praised the progress and said they supported continuing regular funding for the resurfacing program.
Ending: Council asked staff to continue the program and report back with next‑year priorities; staff said additional resurfacing could be added in‑year if vendor pricing and schedule allow further work without increasing the program budget.
