BACKGROUND•On September 20, 2022, the City Council approved extending the paving moratorium from three to five years to mitigate some of the impacts to roads.•On December 12, 2023, City Council approved a professional service agreement for the completion of a Pavement Trench Cut Fee Study•On July 11, 2024, Public Works provided another PMPupdate the BEC. The BEC recognizes street conditions as a major priority and is supportive of additional funding allocations to support the program.

PAVEMENT ASSESSMENTS•In 2017, Public Works completed a pavement assessment on the entire City Network to determine the City’s overall Pavement Condition Index (PCI) and to provide budgetary recommendations for various target funding levels. •In 2021, a 5-year program was approved to reassess the City’s roadways to systematically complete partial network surveys throughout the City annually over the 5-year period. 3 4

PMP OPERATING BUDGETS•In 2017, the City PMP operating budget was $15M. •The May 2018 report recommended a 5-year operating budget of $24M which was not reached until FY 2022/23. •In FY 2023/24 the City invested an additional $10M in one-time funds, boosting the budget to $34M•The PMP reports demonstrate the lack of funding resulted in a decrease in Network PCI and increase in “Poor” and “Very Poor” roads•Public Works is still recovering from budget overages for the FY 2021-2022 and FY 2022-2023 projects caused by a 35% rise in construction costs 5 6

PROJECT SELECTION•Lucitysoftware aligns the available budget with needs.•Public Works receives requests from 311 Call Center•Staff meets annually with Councilmembers to discuss community priorities. FY 2025-2026 Project Summary RiversideCA.gov12
INNOVATIVE APPROACHES•Public Works routinely incorporates traffic safety components supported by our local roadway safety plan and complete streets ordinance: –This year we plan to include fourteen ‘curb extensions’ citywide, in areas with high pedestrian traffic. These pilot safety enhancements double as a placemaking and economic development tool•Public Works is piloting the use of contractor asphalt grindings in an attempt to mitigate dust and stormwater in 2-3 alleyways, and assess the impact to project hauling costs. 11 12

FUTURE FUNDING AND COST-SAVINGS•Public Works assessing a trench-cut repair fee•Public Utilities seeking to dedicate up to $4M per fiscal year to water-line trench repairs•Funding the RCTC Traffic Relief Plan would bring additional funds for local road repair•Staff assessing Community Facilities Districts for heavily impacted industrial use areas•Full depth reclamation & alleyway pilots reduce material costs•General Plan Update includes recalculated Traffic Index RiversideCA.gov14
CONCLUSION•Public Works continues to recover from recent inflation. •The Budget Engagement Commission expressed a desire to allocate additional paving funds. •The FY 2025-2026 projects will provide over approximately 17 miles of surface treatments with an emphasis on Arterial and Collector streets.•Public Works continues to manage the City streets as assets by extending the paving moratorium, exploring a pavement cut fee, implementing a GIS paving project map, and updating its pavement trench repair standard. 13 14
