City staff present residential street maintenance policy focused on PCI, five-year cycles
Summary
Carol Devries, director of transportation and mobility, presented a proposed residential street maintenance policy that would use a Pavement Condition Index and five-year evaluation cycles to guide preventative maintenance, prioritization and annual reporting to council; no vote was taken tonight.
Carol Devries, director of transportation and mobility, presented a draft residential street maintenance policy that would shift the city from reactive repairs to a data-driven, preventative maintenance model.
Devries said the policy relies on a standardized Pavement Condition Index (PCI); “Every residential street is evaluated on a 5 year cycle,” she said, and staff will monitor streets between cycles and update condition data as needed. Project selection would be scored citywide and chosen based on priority need, readiness (utility coordination, drainage, design and right-of-way), and project cost. Devries said limited exceptions would be documented and annual reports on performance and any exceptions would come back to council.
Council members asked about timing and the supporting study; staff said the policy would be finalized with council feedback and that the priority list requires the policy to be in place before staff can finalize projects. Devries confirmed no vote would occur tonight and that the first program under the policy would be brought forward for council approval after the policy and supporting data are finalized.
