Council reviews $3.2M pavement preservation request and bridge-repair options
Summary
Public Works requested $3.2 million to treat about 67 lane miles (roughly 15% of Oro Valley's streets) for FY24-25, citing a 12% rise in unit contracting costs and long-term pavement life cycles; the council pressed for alternatives and prioritized street maintenance over lower-priority capital.
Public Works Director Paul Keesler told the Town Council on May 8 that the town is asking for $3.2 million for pavement preservation in FY24-25, a $600,000 increase from the prior year to keep the street network near its present condition.
