BACKGROUND
The Public Works Services Department (“PWSD”) is responsible for the maintenance
and repair of approximately 147 miles of paved streets within the City. As part of the
City’s Pavement Management Program, the conditions of all City streets were inspected
and rated on a scale of 0-100, with scores below 40 generally being considered a street
that has failed; scores between 40 and 60 are poor/fair in nature. This rating is called
the Pavement Condition Index (“PCI”) and is used to help determine which streets
require asphalt pavement rehabilitation.

According to the Citywide Pavement Management Program, the following street
segments were included in this year’s project:
• Elevado Ave. from Grand View Ave to Virginia Rd. – PCI of 43
• Ontare Rd. from Santa Anita Ave. to end of cul-de-sac – PCI of 35
• Old Ranch Rd. from Colorado Bl to County Arboretum boundary – PCI of 43
• Wistaria Ave. from Holly Ave. to El Monte Ave. – PCI of 49
• Elkins Pl. from Elkins Ave. to Highland Oaks Dr – PCI of 43
• Volante Dr. from Michillinda Ave. to Altura Rd – PCI of 33
• Cortez Rd. from Balboa Dr. to Portola Dr. – PCI of 37
It should be noted that PCIs alone do not determine which streets should be
rehabilitated; for instance, the City also takes into consideration the streets that have
high traffic volume. Furthermore, it is more cost efficient to repave streets prior to their
PCIs degrading to very poor condition. Once a street falls into the lower scoring ranges,
grind and overlay is not sufficient to repair them, and a more extensive rehabilitation
such as a full depth reconstruction is needed.
DISCUSSION
On August 16, 2022, the City Council approved a contract with Onyx Paving Company,
Inc. for the Fiscal Year 2021-22 Pavement Rehabilitation Project. The work performed
included repairing localized potholes and failed pavement, grinding the edges of the
pavement adjacent to the gutters to transition the new pavement to the existing gutter,
replacing broken curb and gutter as necessary, and installing new ADA-compliant curb
ramps at the intersections. The new pavement surface utilized recycled rubber in the
pavement mix to help reduce future cracking and to add strength to the asphalt
pavement. The rubber in the pavement mixture also reduces road noise. Following the
repairs, the condition of all relevant street sections was raised to a PCI of 100.
Prior to beginning this project, a section of Canyon Rd. between Monte Pl. and Highland
Oaks Dr. experienced a water main break, which caused damage to the street. The
water caused the asphalt pavement to rise 2 to 5 inches from grade and caused sub-
base failure. To repair the section of damaged street on Canyon Rd. as part of the FY
2021-22 Pavement Rehabilitation Project, Volante Rd. from Michillinda Ave. to Altura
Rd. was removed from the FY 2021-22 Pavement Rehabilitation Project. Volante Rd.
from Michillinda Ave. to Altura Rd. was slurry sealed in Fiscal Year 2021-22 instead,
which improved the PCI. Staff determined that Volante Rd. from Michillinda Ave. to
Altura Rd. could be included as part of the FY 2023-24 Pavement Rehabilitation Project.
It was determined that Cortez Rd. from Balboa Dr. to Portola Dr. needed to be included
as part of the FY 2021-22 Pavement Rehabilitation Project due to high alligator
cracking, multiple pothole areas, and high quantities of PCC concrete repairs.
Furthermore, a portion of Old Ranch Rd., south of San Simeon Rd. to Vaquero Rd., was
removed for a future project to allow two new developments to install utilities and
