Stonecrest reports 41 lane miles resurfaced in 2024; $6 million allocated for resurfacing program

The City of Stonecrest presented a summary of its street resurfacing program on Feb. 24, noting that the council allocated $6 million for the 2024 resurfacing program and that the city resurfaced more than 41 lane miles during the year.

City Engineer Harry Coran told the council the figure represents work done with the city's resurfacing program (staff and presenters used the term "resurfacing" to describe work completed with county/state millings and local contracts, not full reconstruction). "This year alone, we have resurfaced over 41 lane miles of the streets. Since the incorporation of the City Of Stonecrest, we have paved over 200 lane miles of the streets," Coran said.

Why it matters: Council members and the mayor framed resurfacing as a visible improvement residents seek. The mayor's office noted the city had previously relied on county paving cycles and said the more consistent local program is shortening wait times for repairs and improving neighborhood conditions.

Details and next steps: Coran and staff said the goal is to maintain a high standard for neighborhoods and to respond quickly to citizen requests; they said typical response time for reported street issues is under 24 hours for initial acknowledgment. Staff indicated a resurfacing contract for the upcoming summer will be brought to council for approval at a subsequent meeting.

Ending: The program and its recent results were presented as part of broader public-service updates; staff said resurfacing will continue through the year and that the council will see a contract recommendation in the coming months.
