Lucas council hears $2M near-term road plan and a $64.7M long-term concrete conversion proposal

Summary

At a special-call workshop, Lucas staff reviewed a pavement-condition survey and outlined near-term repaving and maintenance funded from a $1.35M baseline plus impact fees and a county reimbursement (bringing this yearto roughly $2.0M), and presented a decades-long $64.7M plan to convert many streets to concrete; staff will post the presentation and return with contractor quotes and budget options.

CIP manager Patrick Hubbard said the citycondition survey produced a score of "77," with "21.4 miles that are rated ... poor condition" and about "10.2" miles in another mid-range category. He told council the program has reallocated funds and that this year's projection is now roughly $2,000,000 because the original $1,350,000 allocation was supplemented by approximately $498,894 in impact-fee funds and about $182,000 in reimbursement from Collin County for Aztec Road; Hubbard said staff had already encumbered about $1,170,000 of that total.

"Looking at the condition survey from 2026, our overall score was 77," Hubbard said, and he described how NEXCOsegment-level sampling (every 33 feet) feeds a prioritization that targets concentrated failed sections rather than repaving entire stretches unnecessarily.
