Councilman Wants More Spent on Street Repairs
Petaluma City Councilman Bryant Moynihan wants his community to double spending on battered streets that are ranked among the worst in the San Francisco Bay Area.
Critics of the city’s pavement repair efforts have painted rings around potholes, staged protests, and printed bumper stickers with tongue-in-cheek slogans such as “Got Potholes?”
City officials estimate that it would cost $146 million to repair the 150-mile network of streets and $8.1 million a year for maintenance. The city is currently spending less than half that.
