Public works presents 2025 pavement condition assessment; $23M current funding keeps PCI near current levels, $44M would stabilize network
Summary
Public works presented the 2025 pavement condition assessment showing a network PCI of 73 (68 when comparing the same segments from 2021), an estimated replacement value of about $4 billion, and funding scenarios ranging from current ~$23M/year to $44M/year to maintain or improve conditions.
Ryan Gillingham, director of public works, presented IMS Consultants' 2025 pavement condition assessment and outlined funding scenarios and asset-management tradeoffs. "92% of the roadways within McKinney are concrete," Gillingham said while explaining the network composition and observed condition differences between concrete and asphalt streets.
Gillingham told council the city's network now totals roughly 2,000 lane miles, has an estimated replacement value near $4 billion, and that pavement condition index (PCI) modeling shows the current combined funding (roughly $23 million per year) corresponds to a stable-but-declining long-term trajectory while $44 million per year would be needed to hold certain targets. He stressed the cost-effectiveness of preventative maintenance compared with reconstruction — estimating maintenance measures at about $1 per square foot versus reconstruction at roughly $30 per square foot — and urged council to consider the balance between maintenance and reconstruction funding.
