Mayor Mary Robicheaux told listeners the city maintains over 350 miles of roads and is proposing a $3,000,000 allocation for resurfacing as part of a near-term capital package.
Robicheaux said that while municipalities sometimes achieve roughly three miles of resurfacing per $1 million spent, Roswell's older streets and deeper subgrade work mean the city will likely average closer to 1.5 miles per $1 million. "Typically, you get about 3 for every million dollars, you only get about 3 miles done because it's not just laying new asphalt," she said, adding that some streets require subsurface work that raises costs.
