The municipal state aid streets are eligible to receive state funds from the gasoline tax for reconstruction and rehabilitation. The other streets are defined as local roadways and any improvements must be financed by general ad valom tax or other means of taxation.

Public Works Director Paul Senst is responsible for leading the maintenance and repair of city streets for safe use. There are two full- time employees and one part-time employee that work within the street department. Water and sewer employees will assist the street department employees during snowfall events. City snow removal equipment consists of three trucks with plows and a grader. The plowing of all city streets after a snowfall event used to take 10 hours to complete, but the current Public Works team averages six hours to complete. Principal collector streets are always plowed first before residential neighborhood streets.
