Many of the streets in the City are the responsibility of the State of Illinois or Peoria County.  Both the State and County roadways are identified by signs indicating they are a State or County route.  The State and County are responsible for all major repairs to their routes.  However, on some portions of these routes the snow plowing and pothole filling are done by the City of Peoria.

There are many private streets in Peoria. Private streets are not owned by the City, but instead owned by the businesses or residences that lie on the street. It is the responsibility of these owners to maintain the street.

In the case of new development, the streets in a new subdivision are not maintained by the City until certain guidelines are met. Therefore, developers are responsible for the maintenance of newly constructed streets until the City accepts the subdivision.

For general information on road jurisdictions, call the City of Peoria Public Works Department at 309/494-8803.
