About 75 municipal roads were paved across Stamford last year, up from about 35 the year before as the city looked to meet Simmons’ goal of doubling paving through an effort called “Pave Stamford,” said Matthew Quinones, the city’s director of operations. Quinones said the city is looking to pave another 70 or so roads during the 2023 paving season, which is set to start in April and run into November. Officials posted an initial list of 36 roads to be paved on the city’s website this week. “We want to continue that momentum this year so that we can give our residents quality, safe roads in our city,” Simmons told The Stamford Advocate. Simmons included a $5 million request for street patch and resurfacing — the city’s main account for road paving — in her capital budget for the fiscal year that begins July 1, which is about midway through the paving season. She requested $500,000 for a separate account, which Quinones said the city will use to match funding from utility companies to ensure roads are paved curb to curb. Bonding would fund both requests.
