Roads

"It’s worth noting that the 1989 fiscal year was the all-time high for road resurfacing.  That year saw 319 miles of “lane miles” resurfaced—a lane mile being a stretch a mile long and 10 feet wide.  But that figure plummeted until it reached an all-time low of 35 miles in 2000, coinciding with the peak of the previous administration’s vision program.  Like our sewers, and just about everything else in City government, we need to play catch-up."
