Justin Smith, City of St. Johns Director of Public Services, said that this summer the city will repair 1.4 miles of streets, with a total over six years of 7.7 miles.
The goal is for the first phase of work to begin in June, pausing for the Mint Festival and resuming in August.
"Be aware. We'll keep notification as the streets start, door hangers, that type of stuff,” Smith said. “Big thing is just, if you don't need to go down those streets when they're in construction, we ask you to go around and just be safe while you're driving through them,"
Smith says this year's repairs are estimated to cost around $800,000 of taxpayer funds. This street improvement project is part of a six-year plan expected to wrap in 2028.
