Street Maintenance
Crews repair potholes and depressions ensuring that compaction is met. Street striping is performed to make sure that all roads are properly marked and visible. Street sweeping is provided to assist with keeping dirt and garbage from entering the storm drain system. Curbing throughout the City is painted so that it is kept visible to pedestrian traffic. The installation and repair of street signs throughout the City are taken care of by trained crews who follow regulations set by the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT).
