To pave or not to pave, that is the question. Actually, when city engineers and planners are discussing which roads get repaved and when, the question requires much consideration and millions of dollars. A lot of planning goes into these decisions, including the current condition of pavement and underlying base material and need for repair of underlying drinking water and sanitary sewer utilities.
When the projects are scheduled, they’re grouped by similar types of work and distributed throughout the many neighborhoods in the city. Potholes, cracks, fractures and various other types of damage are unpleasant and dangerous and require decision-makers to recognize the need for repairs. Plant City’s decision-makers are aware of the need and working to make the needed repairs. City officials ve planned out three years’ worth of street resurfacing projects to fix the damaged roadways.
