Maintaining this extensive system of roads is complicated by the large variations in geographical settings, climate conditions, road uses, traffic volumes, soil conditions, and pavement types and ages. The County’s average Pavement Condition Index (PCI), dropped from 70 in 2012 to 60 in 2017.

Avenida Encinas Complete Streets

Location Avenida Encinas, between Cannon and Palomar Airport Roads, Carlsbad CA City or County Responsible for Project City of Carlsbad Category Complete Streets Projects Author Craddock Stropes Organization City of Carlsbad Address 1635 Faraday Avenue, Carlsbad, CA 92008 Phone 760-602-2726 Project Description The City of Carlsbad has taken a more cost-effective and efficient approach to implementing complete streets by repurposing existing right-of-way during scheduled construction projects rather than acquiring and constructing new right-of-way. A prime example of this is a portion of Avenida Encinas between Cannon and Palomar Airport Roads that received a new road diet in May 2018 in coordination with underground installation of new sewer, water and recycled water pipelines. The city’s Mobility Element is consistent with and further enhances the state and federal requirements for complete streets by implementing a “livable streets” strategy.
