Arterial & Collector Street PreservationThe City is responsible for maintaining 211 miles of streets of which 92 miles are considered major streets and have therefore been classified as arterials or collectors. This Functional Roadway Classification Map (PDF) shows which streets in Auburn are classified as arterials and which streets are classified as collectors. Pavement preservation and rehabilitation of arterial and collector streets is an important responsibility of the City. Therefore the City has an Arterial and Collector Street Pavement Preservation Program dedicated to preserving and rehabilitating of the pavement on these streets.
R Street SE Undergoing Pavement Patching as Part of the Arterial & Collector Street Pavement Preservation Program The Arterial and Collector Street Pavement Preservation Program implements projects each year that preserve and/or rehabilitate the pavement on Auburn's arterial and collector streets. The map linked below (2002-2011 Program Map) shows what projects have been done in the past 6 years as part of this Program. In addition to the Arterial and Collector Street Pavement Preservation Program, pavement on arterial and collector streets often gets repaired by developer and utility projects since these projects often have to disturb the existing pavement to install new infrastructure. However, the pavement repair work associated with these projects is typically not funded by the Arterial and Collector Street Pavement Preservation Program and therefore these projects usually are not considered part of the program. Due to a lack of funding, the City is considerably behind in the maintenance and rehabilitation needs of the arterial and collector street network. While the City does as much work as possible given the limited funds, it is still insufficient to keep the backlog of pavement projects from growing each year. Therefore, the City is exploring new ways to increase funding for arterial and collector streets (see Report from the Citizens Arterial Task Force (PDF) for more information). For more information on the City's Arterial and Collector Street Pavement Preservation Program, contact Seth Wickstrom, Street Systems Engineer, or by telephone at 253-804-5086.
