“D” Avenue Traffic Calming Roundabout & War Memorial

The City of National applied for and received two grants to construct a traffic calming roundabout in response to requests from residents to enhance safety at the intersection of “D” Avenue & E. 12th Street in National City, CA. Speeding and accidents were the primary concerns. The “D” Avenue corridor through this intersection serves as a key walking route to several area schools, a community park, Boys & Girls Club, and senior housing complex. The City’s Veterans Memorial, which is located at the southwest corner of this intersection, was vandalized while the project was in design. The City immediately formed a War Memorial Committee consisting of City staff, local veterans and service organization members to develop a plan to refurbish and enhance the War Memorial as part of the Roundabout project. To further honor our military and veterans, the roundabout was designed to include monuments with plaques of the five […]

Vasquez Canyon Road Reconstruction

The County of Los Angeles Department of Public Works (Public Works) is committed to maintaining and preserving the local road system, which includes mountain passes that allow motorists alternatives to the major highways and freeways. One of these important alternate routes is Vasquez Canyon Road. On November 19, 2015, severe road deformation was observed that prompted Public Works to close the road. Approximately 600 feet of roadway was deformed by land movement attributed to a slope failure to the north of the roadway which undermined and lifted the road surface and made it impassable to traffic. To complicate matters further, the slope failure occurred on private property, which limited Public Works’ access to remove the slope failure debris. Public Works found that the property owner was deceased and that no heir had come forward to claim title to the property. Due to the importance of Vasquez Canyon Road as an […]

Pavement Accelerated Repair Implementation Strategy Program (Finalist)

The City of Redlands has implemented the Pavement Accelerated Repair Implementation Strategy (PARIS) Program to access and resurface two-thirds of city streets over a five year period. The scope of street repairs will include pulverization, grind and overlay and slurry seal. Striping, curb and gutter, and cross gutters are replaced or repaired where affected by paving work. It total, the program will repair 378 lane miles of local streets, 129 lane miles of minor streets, and 133 lane miles of major streets. The current phase, contracted at $8,739,532.00, includes funding from I-Bank, Measure I and Local Transportation dollars. When complete, PARIS will raise the City’s pavement condition index to approximately 80 placing Redlands among the top cities in California by the end of project-year five. The PARIS project is built on the City’s innovative Pavement Management Program (PMP) under which the physical condition of City streets are evaluated and the […]

Avenue M / Quartz Hill Road – Pavement Rehabilitation

The County of Los Angeles Department of Public Works in cooperation with the City of Lancaster completed a pavement rehabilitation project on a 6 mile stretch of Avenue M / Quartz Hill Road from 60th Street West to the Antelope Valley Freeway in October 2015. Several sections along this roadway were continuously generating potholes and complaints from the public. Maintenance crews were continually patching and repatching the roadway at significant cost to each organization. As funding for this project was of concern to both the County and City, as neither had included it within their fiscal year budgets, it was decided to do the most appropriate least cost treatment for the various sections of the road. The deterioration of the roadway was evaluated by the County’s Geotechnical staff and the appropriate treatments identified for a total of 1,091,600 square feet of pavement (County-57%, City-43%). Each jurisdiction provided the necessary prep […]

Citywide Residential and Local Streets Improvements Project

The City maintained & rehabilitated approx. 55 citywide residential & local streets totaling approx. 1.7 million square feet of an area costing approx. $2.2M. This project involved extensive public outreach & coordination with the residents to ensure the roadways remained open & had the least impact to the community. The project utilized Rubberized Asphalt Concrete (RAC) to provide a sustainable cost-effective roadway which can be used at reduced thickness compared to conventional asphalt overlays. RAC is a blend of paving grade asphalt cement, ground recycled tire rubber & other additives for use as binder in pavement construction. CA produces more than 40 million waste tires annually, of which approximately 75 percent are diverted from landfill disposal. For this project approximately 20,000 waste tires were used in rubberized asphalt. The City took advantage of the work being done & included other improvements at various locations in the City, including parking lot […]

City of San Jose 2015 Arterial Resurfacing Project-II

The City of San Jose, Department of Transportation is responsible for pavement maintenance of the city’s network of 4,313 lane miles of streets. DOT plans, designs, procures, and delivers pavement projects annually throughout the City. The 2015 Arterial resurfacing project included fourteen major streets within the City of San Jose for a total of 28 lane miles of streets. The construction phase included pavement work, street striping and markings, traffic detection loops, retrofit and replacement of ADA ramps, and the addition of green bike lane enhancements. The construction phase took six months and consisted of multiple rehabilitation strategies such as cold-in-place recycling (CIR ) using the foamed asphalt technology and rubberized hot mix asphalt (RHMA) gap-graded as the final wearing course ranging from 1.5″ to 2.0″ in thickness. Using the CIR rehabilitation design, the City was able to reduce cost and include more streets in the project scope. Moreover, CIR […]

San Vicente Road Improvement Project

San Vicente Road is located in the community of Ramona within the unincorporated area of the County of San Diego, California. San Vicente Road functions as a link between Ramona to the north, the Country Estates community to the east, and the Barona Ranch Indian Reservation and the community of Lakeside to the south. San Vicente Road functions as a connector of nearby communities to parks, shopping centers, businesses, and schools. The San Vicente Improvements project consisted of 2.25 miles of roadway realignment/widening which vastly improved traffic safety while providing walkability, bicycling and equestrian activities, and preserving the natural characteristics of the community. The project followed a “complete street” infrastructure incorporating disintegrated granite (DG) multi-use pathways, multiple drainage basins, and bike lanes in both directions of traffic. The major challenges to construct this project were that both the horizontal and vertical alignments had to be modified while keeping the two […]
