Cumulative Lane Miles of Roadway Pavement Improved
Desired Result: Above Target
Analysis of Performance
- This metric tracks progress of the annual goal of pavement resurfacing of 130 lane miles to maintain a Pavement Condition Index (PCI) of 'B' (Good). (The goal was reset in 2024 to restore the target of 75 PCI.)
- Q3 is a key period for resurfacing, typically less affected by weather, and often contributes significantly to meeting annual targets. Quarterly targets vary due to construction and weather limitations.
- Proper maintenance through resurfacing helps extend pavement life and improves PCI, avoiding expensive reconstruction.
- Due to current funding levels, we will not meet the target of 130 lane miles this year.
Metric Definition
The number of lane miles improved displays the City's commitment to providing safe, well-maintained streets. Proper maintenance reduces future maintenance costs by extending the life of the pavement and maximizing our investments. Quarterly targets are set to provide information on our progress towards meeting our yearly goals. These targets vary from quarter to quarter due to weather limitations of the construction season. Achieving our yearly goals allows us to meet our overall street pavement condition Level of Service 'B' (LOS). The total number of lane miles improved annually increased significantly starting in 2011 due to the increased revenue dedicated to Street Maintenance and Repair in the Keep Fort Collins Great tax initiative in 2010.
Why Is This Important?
Well-maintained streets contribute to overall safety and reduces future maintenance costs by extending the life of the pavement and maximizing our investments. City Council has adopted policy that the overall road system condition be at a B level of service. Systematic maintenance extends and maximizes the street infrastructure lifespan.
City Organization Impact on Performance
High – The City directly maintains the roadway system.
