Commission approves pavement-management study by ISG to inform 2026 road priorities
Summary
The Canton City Commission authorized a pavement-management plan using laser-scanning data to map street conditions; staff said the study will help prioritize slurry-seal and reconstruction work for 2026 budgeting.
The Canton City Commission voted to accept a professional-services proposal from ISG to perform a pavement-management plan that uses a data-collection trailer to evaluate street-surface condition across the city. The system uses lasers and sensors to produce a heat-map of pavement health and recommend treatment priorities — from crack sealing and slurry or chip seal to mill-and-overlay or full reconstruction.
Commission discussion focused on timing and how the study would inform the city's 2026 road program. Staff said the collection is typically done before slurry-seal planning so recommendations can guide which streets receive treatments and which require higher-level work. Commissioners asked about parking or staging impacts during data collection; staff said the vendor could collect the required data using driving lanes and that public notice would be provided if parking restrictions were necessary.
A roll-call vote approved the ISG proposal. Staff estimated the data and analysis would be available in time to inform 2026 planning and that the final map would likely be produced by March following data collection.
Provenance: Presentation and vote to authorize ISG pavement management plan and related questions about timing, parking impacts and budgetary effects.
