Strengths and Opportunities

               The section that follows is a self-assessment performed by the department for each core
               service.


               1.  Maintain  and extend the useful life  of the transportation system in order
                   to protect and preserve neighborhoods and support economic prosperity.


                   3.1 - Upgrade the condition of major roads and neighborhood  streets

                   3.4 - Thoroughly plan for future capital investments and associated costs

                  ______________________________________________________________________
                 Strengths           Asphalt and concrete contract repair programs are in place that
                                     provide for responsive minor repairs to the streets, curbs, gutters,
                                     sidewalks and handicap ramps in the city.

                                     The City partners with Tarrant County each year to rehabilitate
                                     roadways in Colleyville; this partnership saves the City more than
                                     $200,000 per year as the County provides all labor and equipment and
                                     the City pays only for the cost of materials.
                                     Emergency preparedness for severe winter weather with state of the
                                     art equipment and action plans are in place.
                                     A proactive preventive street maintenance program is established to
                                     maximize the life of the street infrastructure.
                                     Standard construction specifications and details have been created to
                                     ensure quality construction of City infrastructure.
                                     A regular program to evaluate the street network has been
                                     implemented which helps in identifying when and where to use
                                     available funding for maintenance and reconstruction.

                                     The City utilizes a pavement management software package to model
                                     and forecast future maintenance needs.

                                     Street signs are replaced on a regular basis.
                                     Delivery of high quality customer service in a timely manner is an
                                     absolute standard.
                                     Emergency situations are addressed quickly.

               _______________________________________________________________________

                 Opportunities       Ensure staffing levels and equipment on hand are adequate to
                                     optimize efficiency and effectiveness of in-house resources.

                                     Continue a systematic rehabilitation program of the street system.
