Figure 3: 2005 v. 2010 Comparison of Roadways by Required Method of Repair As shown in the Figure 3, above, the percentage of road mileage that needed no repair in 2005 is only slightly higher than the percentage of road miles needing no repair in 2010. This is somewhat deceptive because the actual roads that make up this percentage are different in the current calculation than the calculation in 2005. The 47.3 miles that have been repaired since 2005, now fall into that category in 2010. In 2005, those roadway miles were in the major repair, structural repair or reconstruction categories. The current “no repair needed” mileage also includes the new, mostly subdivision, roads (21 miles) that the County has accepted for maintenance. A number of the roads that were previously in the “no repair needed” category have deteriorated to the point of needing minor repair now. Figure 3, above, indicates that there are currently a lower percentage of roadways that need minor repair than in 2005. Many of the roadway miles that needed minor repair in 2005 have deteriorated to a condition that requires major repair now. Some of the roadway miles that needed no repair in 2005, currently need minor repair. The largest percentage of roads, almost 50% currently, need major repair. Since 2005, the County has repaired 28.4 miles of roadway that needed major repair; those roadway miles are now represented in the graph above in the “no repair needed” category. Despite this, a number of the
