As per our pavement condition rating, 60% of the network is in poor health and is in need of repaving. As such, need for reactive maintenance is increasing every year. This year we have 60 staff pothole patching on a regular basis at an approximate cost of $5,000,000 per year.

Performance in this category is driven down significantly by the parking meter (S0276) subcategory in the month of November. This was moved to the Call Center in May 2004. Program has focused on entering trouble reports into contractor maintenance database for resolution. Loss of two staff has affected the ability to close out the completed contractor work as requests in Hansen in a timely manner in August and September. The past four months have been problematic due to the catching up with the backlog requests/resolutions. Staffing issue has been addressed and data process changes are complete which directly download the requests for service into the contractor's maintenance database. This change has significantly reduced the front end administrative processing time but the resolution still remains problematic and we are working to address this by the end of April2005. This is a priority for the program and we are planning to implement new procedures. |
