The City’s street improvement needs are many. Street improvements are prioritized by road classifications. Per Stayton Municipal Code (SMC) 12.04.250, the City sets the following priorities for the use of its financial resources for street maintenance:
- Arterial Streets
- Collector Streets
- Local streets with full width curb to curb improvements
- Sidewalks, Pedestrian Paths, Trails and Bikeways
- ADA Ramps and accessible facilities
- Local Streets with partial width improvements
- Gravel Streets
All streets in City limits are rated using the PCI rating system and entered into Street Saver to determine the life expectancy of each street in its current state.
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.
