Pavement Management Program

The City of Avondale is continuously working to improve and maintain its roadway network. Maintaining a strong network of streets is beneficial to everyone at the regional and local level for connectivity, safety and economic growth.

The current roadway network is comprised of approximately 290 centerline miles. It is estimated that the average complete replacement cost for a major roadway is between $5.0-$6.0 million per mile. This indicates a very large amount of funding invested in pavement roadway networks nationwide and specifically within the City. Given the high costs of reconstruction, it is imperative to maintain and extend the life of the existing pavement surface to the maximum extent possible.

The City has developed a Pavement Management Program (PMP) to best address street pavement needs. The American Public Works Association defines pavement management as a systematic method for routinely collecting, storing, and retrieving data and information needed to make maximum use of limited resources. The benefits of pavement management are numerous, including rational resource allocation, optimal use of funds, pavement rehabilitation cost reductions, pavement treatment selections, and pavement life extensions. A PMP will ultimately enable best practices for pavement needs that emerge over time.

Properly maintaining our City streets is a major task. As such, the PMP consists of the rehabilitation of poor and deteriorating streets within the City with the application of common treatments as well as other innovative pavement preservation methods. The City regularly evaluates the condition of roads and streets to assess the need for maintenance or repair, in addition to prioritizing and scheduling how this takes place. The plan to extend the overall life-expectancy of the City streets through the most efficient and cost-saving measures is carried out through a series of pavement preservation strategies.

Our PMP toolbox includes:

-Crack Seal
-Asphalt Rejuvenator
-Sealcoats (such as Polymer Modified Surface Seal)
-Slurry Seal
-Micro Seal
-Fractured Aggregate Surface Treatment (FAST)
-FAST + Sealcoat
-Cape Seal (FAST + Slurry or Micro Seal)
-Thin Overlay (1" to 1.5")
-Mill & Overlay (1.5" plus)

It Is Noteworthy To Mention...
The PMP process includes identifying streets, respective treatment types, contractor scheduling, pre-treatment measures, and placement of the final surface treatment. It is a multi-dimensional undertaking. Construction activities are invariably not always going to occur as originally scheduled. Other factors include weather delays, equipment breakdowns, interruptions to material supply chains, unknown utility conflicts, commitments to other municipalities by the contractor, additional work/material required on streets ahead of other streets in queue, and to a lesser extent staffing resources.

The City sincerely apologizes for any inconveniences and frustrations that occur due to delays or continued postponements. We are not always going to be perfect all of the time; but please rest assured that we do not take delays very lightly and make monumental efforts to bring activities back on track for a successful PMP implementation process. The lines of communication are always open and we encourage you to use them, but most importantly, we appreciate your support too!

As we move into different areas of the City, we will update the News Feed below. There is an opportunity for you to provide comments or ask question at each area we will be working. There is also a tab for 'stories.' This is to give you a forum to discuss pavement management citywide.

    Project Rendering

    The new striping plan for Avondale Boulevard introduces a dedicated buffer lane alongside the bike lane, enhancing safety and accessibility for cyclists. This design prioritizes the separation of cycling traffic from vehicle lanes, promoting a more sustainable and community-friendly transportation option. The inclusion of these lanes aligns with our ongoing commitment to improving infrastructure and supporting active lifestyles in the community.
