About city road maintenance?

Question

Hi, i was wondering if someone could help me with a couple questions i had:

1. How does a city prioritize the road maintenance that needs to be done on a budget?

2. Where can i find what the cities budget is?

Answer 1

A city sets it's maintenance budget using many factors.  How much traffic uses the road, historical costs to maintain an older road, are just a couple.

You can go to your local city hall and under the freedom of information act you can request a copy of the annual budget.  You will be charged for the cost of copying but they must provide this information upon request.
