Green River consultant: road network ‘satisfactory’; $2.05M a year needed to maintain condition
Summary
MDS Technologies presented a pavement condition survey showing the citywide Pavement Condition Index (PCI) at 72.2 (satisfactory), an improvement from 2019, and recommended an annual pavement budget of about $2,050,000 to maintain the network; the city plans to use a 6P tax to fund reconstruction projects over the next 3–4 years.
At the Green River City Council meeting, MDS Technologies consultant Trevor presented the firm’s 2024 pavement condition survey and said the city’s paved road network has an average Pavement Condition Index (PCI) of 72.2 — in the “satisfactory” range — and that maintaining the network at its current level will require roughly $2,050,000 per year.
Trevor said the city’s PCI rose from 70.3 in 2019 to 72.2 in 2024 and that the share of streets in the poorest categories has dropped: very poor or lower fell from 10.5% in 2019 to 6.5% in 2024. “It takes a lot of money and effort to kind of move things up,” Trevor said, noting the modest two-point increase is meaningful for pavement engineers.
The PCI is a 0–100 index that classifies pavement condition into bands (good/satisfactory/fair/poor/very poor/serious/failed). Trevor and his team used high-resolution, GPS-referenced photography of every city-maintained block to quantify pavement distresses and calculate PCI scores. Examples cited in the presentation included Bridger (between Essex and Butte Street) at or near 100, Shoshone…
