Remember, Wisconsin has two seasons -- winter and construction.

Also, I seem to recall that back a year or two ago a survey showed that street maintenance topped people's complaints about Janesville. I don't think they meant "too much".

The city is continually resurfacing. Just because you don't happen to drive those streets doesn't mean it isn't happening in other places. The prep work for the streets in the article has been going on for awhile. The article doesn't say how long the resurfacing will take, so they might be done by the time school starts.
