Mayor Todd Gloria spearheads removal of regional per-mile driving tax over objections from environmental groups
From pothole depth to overall smoothness, the first survey since 2016 aims to assess the quality of every street so the city can better repair them. When the condition of a street drops from fair to poor, it typically requires an asphalt overlay instead of a less expensive slurry seal. The large gap in cost between those two types of repairs continues to widen, the report says.
But the report stresses that the city’s sources for road repair money are not keeping up with the climbing costs. The city’s main sources of money for road repair are proceeds from bonds, the state gas tax, the state’s Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Act of 2017, fees paid by private companies when they cut into streets and Transnet — the county’s half-cent sales tax surcharge for transportation projects.
