PROGRAM PLAN (REPORT OF: PUBLIC WORKS) (ALL
DISTRICTS)
TITLE SUMMARY: Approval Of Recommended Five -Year Look -Ahead Pavement Management Program Plan For Fiscal Years
2026-27 To 2030-31
DISTRICT: All Districts
Recommendation(s)
That the City Council:
1. Approve the recommended Five -Year Look-Ahead Pavement Management Program Plan for Fiscal Years 2026-27 to 2030-31; and
2. Authorize the Public Works Director/City Engineer to make any minor adjustments necessary for finalizing the Five-Year Look-Ahead Pavement Management Program Plan for Fiscal Years 2026-27 to 2030-31.
SUMMARY
This report recommends approval of the Five-Year Look-Ahead Pavement Management Program Plan (Five-Year PMP Plan), which identifies roadway pavement maintenance priorities for Fiscal Years 2026–27 through 2030–31. The City continues to implement a proactive approach to roadway maintenance by incorporating both prev entive and corrective pavement repair strategies into the plan. These cost -effective treatments address a broad range of pavement conditions, extend pavement service life, and enhance roadway safety for the traveling public.

DISCUSSION
The City’s Street network consists of approximately 520 centerline miles of roadway within its 52 -square-mile boundary. From 2008 through 2022, funding available for pavement repairs was significantly limited, resulting in an estimated deferred maintenance backlog exceeding $ 225 million. Recognizing the urgent need to address deteriorating pavement conditions, the City Council approved over $70 million in funding for pavement rehabilitation and preservation efforts. These investments have resulted in measurable improvements to overall pavement conditions and a reduction in the number of potholes requiring repair by City maintenance crews.
Despite this progress, a substantial deferred maintenance backlog remains. With a current annual pavement budget of approximately $5 million, streets must be carefully prioritized for rehabilitation. To adequately maintain the City’s Street network and prevent further deterioration, an estimated $10 million to $12 million in annual funding is required.
Streets included in the Five-Year PMP Plan are prioritized based on several factors, including Pavement Condition Index (PCI) ratings, Average Daily Traffic (ADT) volumes, segments requiring frequent City maintenance (e.g., pothole repairs), upcoming utility or development work, and coordination w ith other Capital Improvement Program (CIP) projects.
Priority is given to low PCI streets and corridors with significant maintenance demands, as well as major arterial roadways such as Alessandro Boulevard, Sunnymead Boulevard, Cactus Avenue, and Perris Boulevard, which serve as key travel routes and gateways into the City. To improve cost efficiency, projects are grouped geographically whenever feasible to achieve economies of scale during construction.
The Five-Year PMP Plan is intended to strategically guide limited funding over the next five years and may be adjusted as conditions or funding levels change, subject to Council review. The plan emphasizes transitioning from costly corrective maintenance to more cost-effective preventive treatments, such as crack sealing and slurry sealing, to extend pavement life, reduce long -term costs, and allow City maintenance staff to focus on higher-value repair activities.
Approval of the recommended actions would support Objective 4 of the Momentum MoVal Strategic Plan: “Manage and maximize Moreno Valley’s public Infrastructure to ensure an excellent quality of life, develop and implement innovative, cost -effective infrastructure maintenance programs, public facilities management strategies, and capital improvement programming and project delivery.”

2. Do not approve the recommended actions as presented in this staff report and provide alternate directions to staff. This alternative may delay the roadway maintenance efforts and allow City streets to continue deteriorating , resulting in higher repair costs. Staff does not recommend this alternative.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact with the recommended action items.
NOTIFICATION
