Future Planning
In addition to catching up on the remaining backlog of streets in dire need of maintenance, we are making sure that Durham doesn’t get into this situation again.
Beginning in fiscal year 2011-2012, funding will be allocated in the annual operating budget, once the remaining backlog is finished, to stay current going forward. That means that we will be able to maintain streets at a "fair" or better condition during their 20-year life cycle.
Plus, the City’s five-year financial plan and strategic plan, both of which include ongoing street maintenance, along with a revised capital improvement plan that is more achievable, means that Durham has a fiscally sound plan for moving forward and ensuring Durham’s city streets are well-maintained and fully funded as part of the annual budget process.
