Long Beach says pavement-condition index rises to 61; $13.8M residential, $31.7M arterial work planned
Summary
A city speaker announced Long Beach’s pavement condition index reached 61 and outlined roughly $45.5 million in planned street investments, citing the city auditor’s pavement-management audit and the Elevate 28 capital program.
Speaker 1, Speaker, said the City of Long Beach’s pavement condition index (PCI) has risen to 61 and announced planned investments of $13,800,000 for residential street improvements and $31,700,000 for arterial streets and corridor enhancements.
"We set initial goal to get our city's pavement, condition index, which was in the fifties up to our first goal of 60 and continue. Well, we're now we're at 61," Speaker 1 said, and added that the city wants to recognize the public works team for maintaining streets.
Speaker 1 said the city is enacting priorities from the city auditor’s "street projects and pavement management performance audit" and intends to adopt the auditor’s recommendations to improve the system. The speaker also urged utility and technology teams to explore methods to prevent water-main failures.
The remarks tied street work to the city’s Elevate 28 capital-investment program. Speaker 1 said Elevate 28 is a roughly $1 billion program expected to be invested by 2027 and recommended beginning planning in 2026 for the next five-year infrastructure cycle to prioritize projects across the city.
The speaker credited contracting and public works staff for recent progress and said the city will continue contracting out corridor enhancements while acknowledging ongoing in-house work. No formal vote or ordinance was recorded in the remarks.
