Maintaining Hundreds of Miles of Roads
The City of Greeley is responsible for maintaining more than 850 lane miles of roadway and 700 miles of curb, gutter and sidewalk in Greeley. Ongoing maintenance keeps everyone in Greeley moving through our community safely.
This important work is possible thanks to the “Keep Greeley Moving” .65% infrastructure tax, which provides funding for transportation-related repairs, improvements and construction in our city. First adopted in 2015, the tax must be renewed every seven years.
By paying 65 cents in sales tax on every $100 spent on all purchases excluding groceries, the City of Greeley is able to perform important repairs as well as conduct major road improvements to help Greeley keep pace with its growing population.
As part of the city’s budget, Keep Greeley Moving is independently audited and overseen by the Citizens’ Budget Advisory Committee and information is published in the city’s Annual Budget.

Frequently Asked Questions
Since Keep Greeley Moving began in 2016, the City of Greeley has improved over 800 lane miles of roadways. The GIS dashboard shows the locations of improvements each year.
The Pavement Quality Index (PQI) refers to the condition of an asphalt road. Quality is measured several ways, including cracking, rutting and drivability. City-maintained roads are given a PQI score from 0 to 100, with 0 being very poor and 100 being excellent. A complete map showing the PQI for different roads is available on the department’s GIS dashboard.
To remain objective in decision-making, a third-party evaluator assesses these road conditions, as well as other factors like traffic count and overall structural integrity. The evaluation results are then aligned with planned projects to avoid any conflicts, allowing staff to make the best use of taxpayer dollars.
The number of roads the city can address each year is contingent upon the annual budget. To maximize our resources, we prioritize rehabilitating concrete adjacent to asphalt overlay projects, but this depends on budget availability.
A variety of treatments, including asphalt overlay, rejuvenating seal coat, slurry seal, chip seal, and cape seal, are used on Greeley roads, based on pavement conditions and types of road distress. Learn more about each type of treatment on the department dashboard.
An important aspect for cost-effective maintenance over the pavement life cycle is the selection and timing of maintenance activities. Using the right maintenance treatment at the right time will help us get the maximum benefit.
Our Pavement Quality Index (PQI) ratings help quantify overall performance and help inform which treatment type is the most suitable. Other considerations include budget, age of pavement and long-term goals for pavement preservation.
