2026 Street Maintenance Program

The 2026 Street Maintenance Program is part of the City’s ongoing effort to preserve and improve Lawrence’s street network. Each year, our team evaluates pavement conditions and prioritizes maintenance activities—such as milling, patching, overlays, and curb repairs—to extend the life of our roads and enhance safety for all users. Investing in regular upkeep helps reduce long-term costs, improves driving conditions, and supports a stronger, more connected community.
