WHY THIS MATTERS:
To maintain and improve the condition of
the City’s roadway infrastructure
systems, for safety, mobility, and quality
of life for Glendale citizens.
2 What is a Pavement Management Plan (PMP)
• Data-driven system using Pavement Condition
Index (PCI) scoring
• Assigns PCI (0–100) to every road segment
citywide
• Recommends most cost-effective treatment for
each segment
• Focuses on preservation over "worst-first"
replacement strategy
• Maximizes life-cycle return on investment
• Supports SB1 accountability and State funding
reporting requirements

10 Trench Moratorium
Enforcement
PCI Based moratorium on cutting newly paved
streets. Utilities must coordinate before repaving.
Violations tracked and enforced.
Utility
Coordination
Pre-pave coordination with public and private
utilities to ensure roads aren't cut after
resurfacing.
Restoration
Standards
Updated trench restoration specifications ensure
repairs match surrounding pavement quality and
extend service life.
Project Packaging
& Unit Costs
Larger project packages achieve better unit
pricing. Tracking cost per square foot ensures
competitive bids and maximum coverage.
