Proper maintenance of city streets will extend the service life of the roadway surface and consequently reduce the need for costly road repair.
The City of Maple Plain considers and funds street construction/rehabilitation projects based on the Street Improvement Plan which prioritizes improvements based on a variety of factors including age and condition of the road and replacement schedules of utilities located under the street.

Patching in the winter and early spring months is done with a material called "cold mix" which is more workable at cold temperatures. Regular city pothole patching with "hot mix" asphalt begins in late spring when asphalt plants re-open for the season. Hot mix asphalt is more durable than cold mix asphalt and provides a more permanent repair of potholes. During the summer a comprehensive repair of potholes is completed based on Public Work's review of road conditions each spring.
