Street Maintenance and Construction
The City of Stayton maintains 33.28 miles of streets. There are 26.27 miles of fully improved streets (curb and gutter on both sides, partially improved), 3.14 miles of partially improved streets (only one curb and gutter), and 3.87 miles of unimproved streets (paving, but no curb or gutter).
Transportation Maintenance Fee
Beginning in February 2011, a Transportation Maintenance Fee was implemented and included on monthly utility bills. The fee is listed as a “Street Fee.” Funds from this fee must be used for street repair and maintenance.

Streets
Each
street in the City limits is rated biennially (every two years) by city
engineers using the PASER system. PASER
system is a surface condition guide that describes and provides a simple,
effective, efficient, and repeatable system to rate the condition of pavement.
PASER is visual inspection system that utilizes the expertise of the rater to
identify the quality of the surface condition of the pavement and the repair
work that needs to be completed on the pavement.
Street
project lists are determined by a team of engineers and street maintenance
operators reviewing street ratings data, available resources, and looking at
other infrastructure requirements that may be needed in the street envelope.
The team matches projects with available resources and a capital improvement
and maintenance lists are developed. Each year the list gets reviewed by staff and updated as
needed.
