Annual Street Resurfacing

Description

The City of East Palo Alto has commenced its Capitol Improvement Program (ST-07-13-22) to perform work annually to preserve and to rehabilitate the pavement that makes up the 38.8 miles of City roads. In addition, this work will include spot replacement of some curbs & gutters and the installation of curb ramps to create ADA compliant pedestrian walkways.

The City has also established a Pavement Management Program where it has surveyed all City roads and given each one a condition rating, also known as a Pavement Conditions Index (PCI) which is a scale of 0 to 100. In its last survey, the City's average PCI was 60. It is the City's goal to improve its roads with it's available funds and while not all roads can be improved as early as desired, the City welcomes and considers the community's input in deciding which roads to prioritize for improvement.

2020 Project Completion

Construction of the Annual Street Resurfacing Project 2020 was completed on 3/31/2021. The City successfully maintained/rehabilitated 11 streets, installed approximately 1200 linear feet of sidewalk, and installed bike lanes (Class II and III) on 5 streets. 

2022 Project

Design of the Annual Street Resurfacing Project 2022 began in 4/2021. The 100% Plans can be viewed HERE. The design includes maintenance/rehabilitation of roadway sections, installation on approximately 7 miles of bike lanes, and pedestrian improvements. The project is currently underway and is expected to continue till the end of October 2022.

The 2022 ASRP work included slurry seal on various roads, a list can be found HERE.

2024/2025 Project

Design of the Annual Street Resurfacing Project (ASRP) 2024-2025 began in May 2024, and is currently 90% designed as of July 2024. A project location map and list of streets to be treated in this installment of the ASRP can be found HERE. The design includes various traffic safety improvements throughout the City, as well as the maintenance/rehabilitation of roadway sections based on the Pavement Condition Indices (PCI) identified in the adopted Pavement Management Plan for 2024-2028.

The 100% design of the ASRP 2024-2025 is expected to be completed by July 2024.

Pavement Management Plan

A Pavement Management Plan (PMP) generally forecasts five (5) years of treatments and is updated every two (2) years when the roads are reinspected. The adopted 5-year PMP plan for 2024-2028 can be found HERE.
