Sanford Street Improvement Watch: share your concerns

Sanford does not know the names of streets needing improvements, according to the city manager’s response to Sandhills News’ requests. The purpose of this article is to provide the names of Sanford streets in need of improvements to the Sanford City Council.

Please share the names of streets within Sanford’s city limits, no county streets, in need of improvements, along with images, on Sandhills News’ Facebook page connected to this article.

A Sanford city engineer replied during a July 2026 work session to my road maintenance request, saying that roads needing improvements were subjective, that people have different ideas of what needs to be repaired.

The Sanford City Council kept last year’s budget total for road repair and maintenance at $750,000 for the 2026-2027 budget.
