Paving Plan
The annual paving plan is funded through the Safe Streets & Safe Community Fee, also known as the Municipal Service Fee. It has allowed the city to greatly improve the maintenance and upkeep of city streets. The Safe Streets and Safe Community Service Fee is $3.00 each week for those working within city limits and $1.20 of that $3 weekly fee goes toward public right-of-way improvements, which includes paving and ADA improvements to sidewalks.
Before the fee, the city budgeted $5,268,123 for 15 years of street maintenance. That's an average of $292,673.50 per year. If street paving continued to be funded at this rate it would take 112 years to resurface city roads. The Safe Streets & Safe Communities Fee has enabled the city to budget roughly $1.8 million per year for road resurfacing. In addition to resurfacing, improvements also include public right-of-ways (widening streets, improving street function and improving public alleys.). Since 2016, when the fee was implemented, the Engineering & Public Works Department has paved over 40 miles of city streets and installed over 500 ADA improvements to city sidewalks.

Street Resurfacing
The Selection Process
The selection process involves input from several different sources. Citizen input, City staff recommendations, as well as an evaluation / rating system maintained by the Engineering & Public Works Department. All of these contribute to the selection of streets to be resurfaced in the multi-year paving plan.The Evaluation / Rating System
The City of Morgantown works with an outside contractor, Dynatest, which specializes in roadway pavement distress surveys and analysis. Using a mix of personnel and cutting-edge technology, Dynatest develops a detailed evaluation and rating system of the city streets. Specialized vehicles provide high-resolution imagery of the pavement and test the roads for roughness and rutting. This work allows the Engineering & Public Works Department to develop a more detailed, efficient, and cost effective multi-year resurfacing plan.Required Paving
Streets that require paving but cannot be added to the current year's list due to budget constraints get priority on the next year's list. If you wish to make a recommendation for a street to be placed on the list, please contact the Engineering & Public Works Department at 304-284-7412.2022 Paving Plan
