Peachtree City explains “worst first” paving

Responding to inquiries from residents regarding street paving, Peachtree City is explaining its system for road projects. The city has a numerical rating system for all of its streets, and the priority is to repave the 64 miles of them with a rating under 80 (a 100 rating being “pristine”).

Paving will continue through at least 2019 on a “worst first” basis, using the $1.8 million allocated in this year’s budget plus revenue from the new Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax, although those funds won’t roll in until September.
