Overall Background

The quality of the City’s roads has been one of the largest issues facing North Port. Originally paved in the 1960s, many of North Port’s neighborhood streets have fallen into severe disrepair. Each year, the City has attempted to keep up with maintenance and rehabilitate roadways while operating under budget constraints to keep costs low.

On November 6, 2012, nearly 60 percent of the voters approved a referendum authorizing the City to obtain a bond up to $46 million to upgrade 266 miles of substandard roads in the City.  In addition, about 210 additional miles of roads received maintenance. As with all roadwork done in the City, road related drainage was included in the rehabilitation and maintenance. 

What Can You Expect?

Some roads in North Port need completely repaved, while others are in need of maintenance work (not full reconstruction or rehabilitation).  When the City of North Port is in your neighborhood, they will be doing both – maintenance and rehabilitation – depending on the state of the road.  As with all roadwork done in the City, road related drainage will be included.  The City provides three types of services:

Usually applied to roads generally paved within the last 3-5 years with minor crack sealing.  This service adds 5–7 years to the life of the road.  Micro-surfacing is an advanced form of slurry seal that uses basic ingredients consisting of emulsified asphalt, water, fine aggregate and mineral filler and combines them with advanced polymer additives which are applied in a thin layer over the existing asphalt pavement.
