Build Up Aurora

The city has entered the next phase in the Build Up Aurora effort to address more than $700 million in unmet critical capital projects required to maintain existing city infrastructure and provide for our growing community's immediate and future needs.

The newly formed Build Up Aurora Infrastructure Task Force is looking at long-term solutions for projects ranging from public safety and transportation to parks, libraries, recreation and accessibility, and it is seeking the community’s input and support.

Take our 5-minute community survey and tell us what infrastructure projects matter most to you.

Background

Safe, adequate and well-maintained infrastructure is essential to the city’s economic health and impacts every resident’s quality of life. Aurora's population has grown nearly 40 in the last 20 years, compounding the city's infrastructure needs.

In 2023, the city of Aurora delivered on promises to address a top priority of our residents—transportation and roadways—by improving the condition of Aurora residential streets in the worst condition. That work is continuing annually. This was the start of Build Up Aurora, a strategic long-term effort to care for the city's existing infrastructure and provide for what is needed for the future.

Take our 5-minute community survey and tell us what infrastructure projects matter most to you.

When does Ponderosa Trail get new asphalt surface is over 20 year old

JEP asked 26 days ago

Thanks for your question. Our Public Works Staff informed me that South Ponderosa Trail had a mill and overlay, which removes old asphalt and adds two to three inches of new asphalt, in 2008, and a surface treatment, which seals small cracks and protects the surface of the road, in 2016. The road is not currently slated for another overlay at this time.
All city roads were evaluated for their condition as part of a citywide network check this year. These results will be used to inform future programs and funding use across the city. Additional information on the city's annual street maintenance program may be found at https://www.auroragov.org/residents/right_of_way_maintenance_snow_removal/roadwork___construction_projects.
