City of Yakima, Washington Department of Public Works
Streets and Traffic Division

The Street Division’s annual maintenance program includes small repaving projects, wheel path grinding and patching, pothole repair, alley grading, crack filling and chip-sealing. Street maintenance operations provide a cost-effective program which protects the public investment in city streets although recent budget limitations has reduced the amount of preventive maintenance work that can be accomplished.
