The City of Jacksonville covers an area of 26.76 square miles. Within those borders are 117.89 miles of local paved permanent roads and streets and 43 miles of Federal and State roads and highways.Along with streets and roads, there are 46.32 miles of sidewalks to maintain or replace.
Regulating the flow of traffic Is the job of the Signs and signals crew they maintain 23 traffic lights and some 1,600 metal signs. Plus all lane stripping and crosswalks
The street dept. spends roughly a quarter of a 
million dollars a year to resurface streets using some 430 tons of asphalt. Our city is committed to recycling so we reuse all of the old asphalt that is ground off the streets for sub base or road shoulder fill, reducing the amount of gravel we have to purchase.
Keeping the streets clean is a full time job for the city Sweeper. It runs five days a week all year and on average picks up about 1,248 cubic yards of dirt and debris a year.
Each year, May through December we hire three seasonal employees to help
mow right of ways. It takes four mowers six days to mow them all.
Much time and manpower goes into maintaining and repairing the 279 miles of ditches within the city boundaries. On days when there are heavy rains most of our man power is used to remove obstructions from ditches and drains, To keep the water moving reducing the chance of flooding.
The street dept. is in charge of mosquito control for the citizens of 
Jacksonville. The city has two units that spray the city once a week. On average these units will run 360 hours, driving 4,132 miles, dispense 885 gallons of insecticide during a mosquito season.
