City engineering staff briefed the council on the annual pavement maintenance program, showing the city’s prioritized list of arterial, collector and local-street projects and the Payment Condition Index used to guide maintenance treatments.
Associate Engineer Alfredo Mihango said funding constraints limit the city to roughly one or two local-road projects per year, and that collectors and arterials are candidates for grant funding. Staff described active and near-term projects, including the second half of the Shasta-area neighborhood reconstruction and minor repairs scheduled through 2028.
Council members asked about timelines for specific neighborhoods such as Northgate and the segment of Louis Avenue between the railroad tracks and the airport. Staff said some segments near development are expected to be rebuilt as part of upcoming private development, while public-works crews will perform interim pothole and minor repairs. The engineering team said larger resurfacing or reconstruction relies on available funding and grant opportunities.
Council instructed staff to continue advancing the recommended project list and to return with district-level information on project timing; staff agreed to include council-district identifiers in future presentations for easier reference.
