City updates five‑year pavement plan; funding shortfall likely keeps PCI below national average
Summary
Staff presented the draft pavement management program and a proposed FY26‑27 streets list; with current budgets the city’s pavement condition index is projected to fall to about 55, below the national average, and staff said restoring the PCI to national average would require roughly $7.5M per year.
Public Works staff presented the draft five‑year pavement management program (PMP) and a proposed FY 2026–27 project list on July 27, showing the citywide pavement condition index (PCI) at about 58 in 2023 and projected to decline to approximately 55 under current funding. The presentation reviewed the treatment ladder (preventive slurry/microsurfacing, repave, full reconstruction) and unit costs, with resurfacing averaging about $2.70 per square foot and reconstruction approaching $4.50 per square foot.
Staff explained the prioritization criteria — PCI, roadway classification, overlapping capital projects, public input, and funding availability — and identified FY 26‑27 segments for repaving and microsurfacing. Finance staff showed that to hold the city’s PCI near 58 would require roughly $5.6M per year; to meet the national average (~61) the city would need about $7.5M annually. Council approved the PMP with the direction to align the program to the revised budget adopted earlier in the meeting.
Next steps: staff will adjust the proposed segments to match the adopted FY 26‑27 budget and continue outreach for patching and traffic‑safety concerns.
