Chino Valley sticks with planned roadwork but will use coring data to refine treatments
Summary
Council heard that 88% of survey respondents are unsatisfied with local streets. Staff described coring to test base conditions and recommended using data to decide chip seal versus full rebuilds; Perkinsville work and select neighborhood overlays were discussed as near-term priorities.
Chino Valley staff told council they are using pavement coring results to guide where to apply chip seal, overlays or full rebuilds, and urged sticking with current bid timelines for Perkinsville-area work to avoid rebidding delays that could push projects beyond the fiscal year.
Staff reported an 88% dissatisfaction rate among survey respondents regarding local streets and noted that increased investment in recent years has heightened resident awareness of unfinished needs. The coring program will identify base conditions so the town avoids applying treatments that are unlikely to hold on clay or weak substrates.
Councilmembers debated whether to bank funds for a larger Perkinsville rebuild next year or proceed with this year’s program to avoid rebidding and schedule slippage. Staff said some projects are already funded and that neighborhood-level work (Chino Meadows select streets, Wells Fargo Sky, Yoki Log) is targeted when feasible.
Next procedural steps: staff will bring coring results and a prioritized list of pavement treatments to the April study session so the council can confirm the FY priorities in the context of the overall budget.
