Your Streets and Sidewalks

The Street and Sidewalk Fees on your monthly Utility Bill contribute to the regular maintenance and refurbishment of the streets and sidewalks throughout the entire city.  Here is a breakdown:

Street Maintenance Fee - these funds go directly into the budging of regular road repairs (i.e. patching, signage, stripe painting), exercises for longevity (i.e. crack and slurry sealing) and reconditioning (i.e. replacing a whole street).

Street Light Fee - While PGE performs the work on the lights, the City budgets for routine and irregular maintenance for safety.

Safe Sidewalks Fee - This is a fee approved for only 5 years to raise funds to build new sidewalks, especially in the high foot-traffic areas around schools.

Sidewalk Repair Fee - Another 5 year program to raise funds that will assist homeowners in repairing cracked and broken sidewalks in front of their homes to reduce tripping hazards.  Get more information about the Sidewalk Repair Assistance Program through the link below.

The City of Sherwood Public Works Department regularly reviews and schedules various repairs on all of the city's streets.  Below are descriptions of regular maintenance processes

Streetlight in its natural habitat

One of the public services provided in order to help provide additional visibility during the dark winter nights is streetlights. Streetlights provide an important service to the community by supplying light for both motorists and pedestrians.
