Staff respond quickly to issues such as potholes, collision debris, trees blocking the roadway, vegetation blocking sight lines and tripping hazards. Standby support for maintenance needs is available 24/7 on an on-call basis. During severe storms, staff work around the clock to keep streets passable on a prioritized basis.
