Cumulative Lane Miles of Roadway Pavement Improved
Desired Result: Above Target
Analysis of Performance
- Yearly lane-mile goals have been reset in 2024 to reflect those needed to restore the PCI level-of-service to the management target of 75.
- Annual goal allows us to meet our overall street pavement condition Level of Service (LOS) 'B' (Good).
- Return Cycle duration is a function of the quality of the installation, materials, and interim maintenance. Average return on municipal surface seals and overlays is, 10 and 15 years, respectively.
- Purpose of this metric is to track the amount of pavement, in lane miles, resurfaced each quarter toward a yearly goal.
- Proper maintenance increases the Pavement Condition Index (PCI) by extending the life of the existing pavements without expensive /time consuming reconstruction. This maximizes past investments.
- Quarterly targets are set to provide information on our progress towards meeting our yearly resurfacing goals. These targets vary from quarter to quarter due to weather limitations of construction and programming needs.
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.
