2023 Pavement Preservation Project
Location Various location in Yolo County City or County Responsible for Project Woodland Category Roads: Efficient and Sustainable Road Maintenance, Construction and Reconstruction Projects. Description Yolo County’s commitment to efficient, forward-thinking, and environmentally conscious road maintenance practices is exemplified by the success of the 2023 Pavement Preservation Project. Focused on enhancing the longevity of roads in the unincorporated rural communities and surrounding roads through sustainable approaches, this initiative strategically preserved existing infrastructure while applying innovative techniques to mitigate the need for constant maintenance. In the past few years, the community of Clarksburg and surrounding area has experienced changes to the type of farming operations. Some of the lands have been converted from row crops to orchards, vineyards, and Wineries. The project directly improves the access to farm to fork farming operations vineyards and wineries in the area. The Pavement Condition Index (PCI) for the road included in the project […]
American Avenue and Golden State Boulevard Intersection Realignment
Location American Avenue and Golden State Boulevard City or County Responsible for Project Fresno County Category Safety or Intelligent Transportation System Projects Description The intersection of Golden State Boulevard (GSB) and American Avenue had multiple design deficiencies, including horizontal and vertical alignment of the intersection and sight distance. These geometric deficiencies, together with the proximity to the Union Pacific Railroad (UPRR) tracks and the high-speed limits of the roadways (55 mph on American Ave and 65 mph on GSB), made it very challenging to design a major realignment along all four approaches. The skewed alignment of Golden State Boulevard as it crosses American Avenue created a non-standard intersection that was unsignalized and vehicles on American Avenue crossing GSB had to stop in the median to safely maneuver the crossing. There was also a 2.5 feet grade difference between the east leg of American Ave and the GSB which created […]
Riverwalk Trail Northerly Extension
Location 3rd Street, C Street City or County Responsible for Project City of West Sacramento Category Complete Streets Projects Description The City of West Sacramento has been prioritizing investments in planning, deindustrialization, and infrastructure improvements in order to facilitate redevelopment and create vital neighborhoods along the Sacramento River. The City’s vision for transforming the underutilized riverfront includes recreational access to the river and enhanced pedestrian, bicycle, and transit mobility. The Washington District (District) is a 194-acre area bound by the Tower Bridge Gateway on the south, the Sacramento River on the east, A Street on the north, and portions of 6th Street and 8th Street on the west. Located along West Sacramento’s riverfront and within a mile of downtown Sacramento, the Washington District is an area that has potential for sustainable, mixed-use development. Today, the City’s dedication is apparent throughout the riverfront. In 2011, the neighborhood earned a U.S. […]
City of Pleasant Hill 2022/2023 Street Resurfacing Project
Location Contra Costa Boulevard, Taylor Boulevard City or County Responsible for Project City of Pleasant Category Roads: Efficient and Sustainable Road Maintenance, Construction and Reconstruction Projects. Description The City of Pleasant Hill, working in conjunction with the Metropolitan Transportation Commission’s P-Tap grant program, evaluates the condition of each street in the City every two to three years to determine their overall condition, or their Pavement Condition Index (PCI). We use this information, in part, to help identify the City’s pavement resurfacing schedule. The City last completed this street survey in the summer of fall of 2022 and each street was ranked on a scale from 1 (worst) to 100 (new road). The City has identified 24 residential zones in the City. Each residential street within a defined neighborhood has an identified PCI value and contributes to the average score of the streets within a Residential Zone. Each Residential Zone […]
San Francisco’s Road Conditions Improve Pavement Condition Index to 75
Location San Francisco Roadway Network City or County Responsible for Project San Francisco Category Roads: Efficient and Sustainable Road Maintenance, Construction and Reconstruction Projects. Description At the end of 2023, San Francisco achieved a Pavement Condition Index (PCI) of 75, surpassing the previous year by one point. This positions the city at the forefront of roadway conditions among major Bay Area cities. Thanks to over a decade of funding from Captial Planning and the State for the San Francisco Public Works’ Street Resurfacing Program, excellent Design and Construction Management teams who worked tirelessly to implement projects, we treated over 8,000 blocks in the last 15 years and steadily raised the PCI from the mid 60’s to 75 today. Last year alone we resurfaced over 500 blocks. We consistently adhere to the industry’s best practice of “Right Road, Right Treatment, Right Time.” As a result, we’ve elevated the overall network […]
