FY27 Street Mill and Overlay Program
Summary
The street sweeper program isn't delivering — council discussed dropping it after paying $10,000 for disappointing results. Public Works also plans a smaller roller (under $30,000) so crews can do better pothole repairs without a CDL driver.

Nine streets are slated for full-depth reclamation with Tarrant County Precinct 3 at about $1.33 million — a method expected to last 15-20 years instead of 10-12 for a simple overlay. Work likely starts late spring.
