The City Council places a priority on street preservation and maintenance, in order to maximize the useful life of this essential public investment. Every 2-3 years, the Transportation Department evaluates all 356 (centerline) miles of roadway in the City-maintained system for a variety of distress conditions. Some include: edge cracking, block cracking, alligator cracking, rutting, raveling, and bleeding. Staff also considers the extent of patches and other repairs on the roadway, and general roughness or ride comfort. Finally, staff considers the traffic volume and classification of each roadway, as well as planned infrastructure projects that will require future cuts and patching. This combination of factors produces a street ranking used to allocate available funding for the contract. In 2019 the City partnered with Data Transfer Solutions, LLC (DTS), to perform a third-party evaluation of the City of Concord maintained streets and to recommend maintenance schedules/methods to optimize the City’s budget. DTS staff evaluated 356.16 miles of roadway based on the national standard for evaluating referred to as Pavement Condition Index (PCI).
