Raising our Road Scores

When the Great Recession hit, road maintenance was delayed and many other budget cuts were done.

 Our roads were maintained by District- regardless of condition, making the budget a bit unpredictable. When the rotation stopped during the recession every district suffered. When the budget returned, we were faced with terrible roads everywhere. I wanted to improve our rating not just barely maintain our crappy roads.

 Now, instead of doing the roads by District, we are doing them by their PCI rating. We Mill & Overlay the worst roads, we maintain with Slurry the better roads. Properly maintaining the roads is much cheaper than repair and replace. With the prior system, we were struggling to maintain our 65 PCI rating.

 This new plan will result in a higher rating for all city roads with the first goal being 75 PCI. If future councils maintain this system, we can increase the rating again & Redondo will have some of the best roads in the Country! The new maintenance plan provides a steady cost making budgeting easier and predictable. We spend the same amount every year, as the roads improve we can do more slurry and less replacing.
