3 1. Most agencies have adopted paving moratoriums for paved streets and alleys to safeguard them from early deterioration
2. Paving moratoriums typically vary between 3 or 5 years. The City of Riverside is currently utilizing a 3-year moratorium
3. Despite the best coordination, utility companies may need to cut into a newly paved street to install, repair, or service an underground utility
4. Utility companies are required to do more extensive pavement repairs for work that occurs during a moratorium
BACKGROUND
RiversideCA.gov
4 1. Creates an entry point for
water – damages the
underlying layers
2. Weakens pavement structure
3. Repaired sections may
introduce roughness. Rough
roads can cause vehicle to
bounce and leads to early
pavement damage.
