City manager: PASER report shows more than $84 million in needed street repairs; city seeking state aid
Summary
Mount Clemens' city manager said the city's 2022 PASER pavement survey lists more than $84 million in needed street repairs; the city is developing a comprehensive plan and has requested just over $10 million from the state for local street repairs.
City Manager Mr Shipman told the Mount Clemens City Commission that the city's engineering firm last produced a full Pavement Surface Evaluation and Rating (PASER) report in 2022 and that the report quantified the total repair cost for all city roads "over $84 million." He said engineering and the Department of Public Works are preparing a comprehensive plan to prioritize repairs based on budget availability.
Shipman said the city has requested a state allocation of just over $10 million to support local street repairs. He encouraged residents to report damaged streets and to use the city's online 'report issues' tab or contact code enforcement directly with specific addresses and locations (driveway or rear yard) to help staff locate problems that are not visible from the street.
The manager emphasized that PASER uses a 1-to-10 scale (1 worst, 10 brand-new pavement) and that the last full survey was completed in 2022. He said staff will continue to coordinate with the city engineer to form a multi-year repair plan and expects available funding to drive priorities.
