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.
Street Ratings and Project Selection
The
City’s Street Improvement needs are many. The 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:
a.)
Arterial
Streets
b.)
Collector
Streets
c.)
Local
streets with full width curb to curb improvements
d.)
Sidewalks,
Pedestrian Paths, Trails and Bikeways
e.)
ADA
Ramps and accessible facilities
f.)
Local
Streets with partial width improvements
g.)
Gravel
Streets
All streets in City limits are rated using the PCI rating system and entered into Street Saver to help 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.
