Responsibility
The City maintains 43.72 centerline miles / 138.51 lane miles within Springdale. This includes both State Route 4 (Springfield Pike) and State Route 747 (Princeton Pike), but not I-275.
Public Works is responsible for the management of the Right of Way which generally includes the road, curbs, sidewalks, trees, and utilities. This Right of Way area varies depending on the street, but ranges from 20 feet to 100 feet in overall width. This area is owned by the City of Springdale, however, it is up to the property owner to maintain. The department is also responsible for roadway capital improvements that take place throughout the City.
The Director of Public Works is responsible for managing the operations designed to maintain and provide safe and efficient travel on all City streets. The Director also oversees the maintenance and repair of other public infrastructure throughout the City such as storm sewers and sidewalks.
