Around here road repair is allocated via property taxes. Pay more taxes because you live on a nicer street, and you will see more road repair. This gets compounded because nicer streets also lobby for school bus stops central to them, which leads to even more dollars being spent there. Last of all, if too little is being done on the roads then the neighbors on a nice street pool their money and privately fix the road themselves.
