The Street Maintenance Division is responsible for maintenance of the City's streets, sidewalks, alleys, and drainage systems. The Street Division currently maintains over 546 lane miles of City streets.
According to last year’s survey, residents requested more arterial streets be repaired. This year’s projects will be geared toward that request.
Projected Street Repairs for 2009 are:
Valley Ridge Blvd. between College Street and SH 121 Business
Lakepointe Drive between Corporate Drive and Hebron Parkway
Purnell Street between Mill Street and Railroad Street
College Street between Cowan Avenue and I - 35E
Civic Circle between Valley Parkway and Main Street
Oak Creek Estates Drive, Milestone Ridge, Lee's Court,
Rachel's Court, Shufford's Court, and Angela Drive
Who do I call to report problems?
Call the Department's 24 hour line at (972) 219-3510. A dispatcher will take your call and arrange for appropriate action. You can call this number to report potholes, sidewalk problems, clogged storm drains, standing water, flooding, a sewer line stoppage, a traffic signal malfunction, or even a burned out street light. We handle calls like this all day, every day. As hard as we try, we can't be everywhere at once, and it can be difficult to know all of the problems that are occurring in the City. The citizens of Lewisville are our eyes and ears, and we depend on you to help us keep track of areas that need attention.
SIDEWALK REPAIRS
(Minimum Replacement Criteria)
- A 1” or greater trip hazard
- A 1” or deeper and/or 12 square inch or greater spalling
- A section is divided into 3 or more pieces
- Grade of sidewalk creating persistent standing water problem (water standing for more than 48 hours) without new water being added
- Sidewalk adjacent to back of curb has separated from top of curb by 1” or more.
The Street Division will make initial response to complaints within 16 working hours. If failure presents safety hazard to vehicular travel, affected area will be made safe until repairs can be completed.
Repairs will be scheduled and completed as funding allows.
BASKETBALL GOALS
The City Charter (Sect. 3.07, para Q) gives the City the right to control all obstructions, encroachments, or encumbrances on public streets, alleys, public grounds or right-of-ways. The City Council has deemed such installations to be a safety hazard due to their proximity to public roadways. Damage has occurred to high profile vehicles in the past at similar locations. The City Council has directed staff to work with residents to have the assemblies removed from City property. The assembly can be installed on private property if it does not encroach upon City property. A typical installation is adjacent to the homeowner’s driveway. This site allows for a play surface, yet does not create a hazard to the public.
