Road Maintenance
The City of Melrose is committed to providing quality streets for years to come. We have developed a detailed street maintenance program that is annually reviewed. Special funds have been set-a-side to ensure proper planning can occur to ensure the road are maintained. The staff and consultants work hard to ensure repairs are made that will have lasting impacts versus a short term affect. We have invested in municipal equipment that will allow the City to conduct a great deal of maintenance with City Staff versus contracting out the work to keep costs within reason.
