2025 Arterial Rehabilitation Project
July 7, 2026
Project Locations
Bolsa Avenue Rehabilitation
Bolsa Chica Street to Goldenwest Street.
Two miles of construction.
Frankfort Avenue Storm Drain Improvement
Storm drain on Frankfort Avenue near Delaware Street.
Downtown Alley Improvements
Five downtown alley segments located between 8th Street, 11th Street, Walnut Avenue, and Pecan Avenue.
This arterial segment has an average Pavement Condition Index (PCI) rating of 47, with one segment as low as 19. This reflects a very poor condition, warranting rehabilitation.
Pavement rehabilitation will include areas of slurry, 2-inch grind and overlay, 5-inch dig outs to repair localized failures, and full depth reclamation for the segments where the subgrade has severely failed.
Replace damaged and uneven concrete to improve the pedestrian path of travel.
Construct ADA ramps with new pedestrian push buttons
Landscape enhancement with tree replacement
Drainage improvements
Striping and signage improvements
Utility adjustments and manhole cover replacements
Bolsa Avenue Rehabilitation
The alley that runs parallel to Delaware Street to the east, from Hartford Avenue to Geneva Avenue, has been experiencing severe flooding during larger rain events. After field investigation and research, it was discovered that there was a bottleneck in the downstream storm drain.
To increase the flow of storm water, a 100 linear foot pipe will be constructed connecting to an existing catch basin.
Local depressions will be replaced to improve street flow.
Frankfort Avenue Storm Drain
The five (5) alley segments have an average Pavement Condition Index (PCI) rating of 36. This reflects a very poor condition, warranting rehabilitation.
The PCI does not consider the pavements ability to convey stormwater. These alleys often experience severe ponding. Improvements to the pavement will be a 2-inch grind and overlay.
Stormwater drainage will be improved by reducing the high points to promote sheet flow as intended.
