PREVENTIVE STREET MAINTENANCE
DESCRIPTION / MISSION
This program provides the city with an effective preventive street maintenance program to protect the public investment on all
public streets, thoroughfares and public ways within the City of North Richland Hills. This program consists of minor
reconstruction, resurfacing, overlaying, slurry sealing and patching of public streets to preserve and to extend the life of the
pavement. This program keeps the city from having higher street repair costs in the future by repairing the minor problems and
preventing them from becoming significant and more costly to repair.

• To protect the investment in public streets by utilizing a Preventive Maintenance Program to ensure maximum street pavement
life. (Efficient Effective Transportation System)
