Committee hears pavement condition survey; $2,000,000 transportation surplus proposed for worst PCI segments
Summary
Staff reported recent PCI survey results and proposed using a $2,000,000 transportation surplus to prioritize pavement repairs, focusing first on segments scoring below 50 and a 1,700-foot sidewalk repair on an older connector.
Speaker 1 (unidentified) briefed the committee on recent pavement and sidewalk assessments and recommended using transportation surplus funds to address highest-need segments. Staff said a citywide repaving queue would prioritize the worst road segments first based on Pavement Condition Index (PCI) scores.
Speaker 1 described options for sidewalks, noting a proposed repair of approximately 1,700 feet along an older connector and described standard installation depths and construction considerations for driveway-adjacent sidewalk sections. The discussion included cost references and comparisons to prior projects.
Committee members discussed survey methodology and prioritization rules. Speaker 1 said the city has budgeted transportation funds and identified a surplus of $2,000,000 available this year; the committee discussed directing those funds to segments with PCI scores below 50. Staff said further field evaluation and project scoping would be required before work begins.
The committee agreed to forward the matter for additional review and recommended returning to the full council with more detail on scope, costs and timing.
