Concrete Maintenance
The Concrete Program removes and replaces damaged sidewalk and damaged curb and gutter. This program also prevents trip hazards by placing asphalt ramping or grinding as sidewalk trip hazards are reported.
Please contact the Maintenance and Operations Division when you see a potential trip hazard along City sidewalks or curb and gutters.
Graffiti Removal
The Graffiti Program provides services seven days per week for removal of graffiti from public and private property visible from the public right-of-way. The goal of the program is to remove graffiti within 24 hours of a location being reported.
Vehicle/Equipment Maintenance
The Vehicle/Equipment Program maintains the City’s fleet that includes vehicles and equipment with gasoline, diesel, propane, and natural gas powered engines. This program is also involved in providing fuel, vehicle replacement, and after-hour emergency response repairs.
