Planners ask for detailed PCI breakdown to bolster road‑repair grant applications
Summary
Commissioners asked staff to provide a mile-by-mile Pavement Condition Index (PCI) breakdown so the county can document road needs in the circulation element and support future transportation grant applications; staff said they can obtain and break down the data.
Speaker 1 asked the Planning Commission for more granular pavement-condition data to strengthen the county’s case for road-repair funding, requesting a table that breaks county road miles into PCI ranges (for example, miles with PCI 85–100 versus 0–24).
"What I'm curious about, how many miles are in a PCI 85 to 100? How many miles are 0 to 24?" Speaker 1 asked. Speaker 3 said Caltrans provides accurate PCI data and that staff can break the county totals down into the requested ranges, pointing to a table in the draft (table 4.2‑2) that shows total public-road miles.
Speaker 3 emphasized the practical reason for the request: "To get funding for that, we have to have it all in the circulation element so we can refer to it as if we need money for this." Commissioners and staff agreed to request the detailed breakdown from public works, Caltrans and the local transportation commission and to include the data to add clarity to the circulation element.
No vote was taken. Staff said they will follow up with public works and Caltrans and return with a PCI‑range breakdown to include in the plan and to aid grant applications.
