Kingman launches street landing page to show pavement plans, pothole reports and budgets
Summary
Public Works unveiled streets.cityofkingman.gov, a landing page with maps, pavement preservation strategies, current and completed patch lists, and links to budget and funding data; staff said interactive GIS features and two‑way reporting enhancements are planned.
Kingman’s Public Works department demonstrated a new street landing page on May 25 designed to centralize information about pavement preservation, pothole and water‑patch repair schedules, street classifications and budget information.
Street staff member Jack (Street Department) and city web content specialist Sarah showed the site at streets.cityofkingman.gov, noting current content includes residential district schedules for crack sealing and chip seals, a list of current and completed water‑patch repairs by address, static district maps and contact guidance for reporting potholes. The page also links to the city’s open finance portal so residents can see budget and expenditure details for street programs.
Staff said the current maps are static while the city upgrades its GIS system; planned enhancements include interactive maps that allow residents to zoom to their street, a reporting button for potholes and planned integration of a two‑way work‑order/reporting platform that will notify residents when a reported issue has been scheduled or completed. Jack said the department is also preparing a five‑year arterial and collector maintenance plan to add to the site.
Vice Mayor Samuley urged staff to include an easy‑to‑read budget‑to‑date graphic on the landing page and to make the site navigation clearer under the public‑works menu. Staff agreed to work with IT to improve navigation, add permalink features and explore a hyperlink from the patch list directly to district maps. The page launch will be followed by a press release and additional outreach so residents know where to find pavement and repair schedules.
Public Works said the landing page is aimed at improving transparency about pavement work, reducing duplicate reports and making it easier for residents to find scheduled maintenance and contact information.
