Street Rehabilitation Project FY 21/22 and Park Pathway Restoration Project FY21/22

CIP 301-703 consists of street rehabilitation and pavement maintenance on various streets in Neighborhoods No. 1 and No. 9. The rehabilitation project will help to increase and maintain the City’s overall Pavement Condition Index (PCI). The PCI is a numerical index used to indicate the general condition of a pavement. Design for the project was performed in-house by Public Works staff.  Along with the paving work, the project will be incorporating CIP 301-702, to include park pathway restoration work in five (5) City parks, which require general maintenance. 

Total funding in the amount of $3,500,000 is available in the approved project budgets for construction ($3,200,000 is provided by a combination of Measure A, Measure M, Gas Tax, and Measure W for CIP 301-703; and $300,000 is available from the General Fund for CIP 301-702).  Construction is anticipated to take approximately 4 months with an anticipated start at the end of May 2023.

The ongoing maintenance of public streets is essential to maintain the structural integrity, safety and accessibility of the City’s roadways and maintain an acceptable PCI for our city.  Continual improvements and maintenance lead to higher quality roadways at a lower cost.  The locations and type of treatments to be performed as part of CIP 301-703 are listed below:
