Budget Commission study has found. A 37-page report on the Department of Highways productivity program released Monday also said the city was seriously behind in repairs, but conceded these efforts were impeded because half the streets were never properly constructed.

The nonpartisan civic group blamed the department's slow progress on a lack of managerial concern and planning. The lack of a long-range plan was attributed to the parent body, the Transportation Administration, which has responsibility for such a plan. But, the report noted, there were no short range plans either, for lack of data on which to set resurfacing and repair priorities.
