Just How Bad are Upland's Roads?

2024 Pavement Management Report

In June of 2023, the City Council approved the creation of a pavement master plan using one-time ARPA funding for the purpose of identifying and prioritizing street repairs and other asphalt maintenance using empirical evidence. The following May 2024 DRAFT Pavement Management Report is based on surveys of every street, parking lot, and alley in the city. The final report is anticipated to be complete in 2024.

What this DRAFT report shows us:

• Currently, Upland’s average Pavement Condition Index (PCI) is 61 – on the lower half of the Fair category requiring Critical rehabilitation options. (Found on page 11).

• Over the next 5 years, the PCI for our streets will decline to Poor – a rating of 52, using only dedicated revenue sources (Gas Tax, Measure I, and RMRA funds). (Found on page 8).

• Maintaining the current PCI level of Fair would require doubling the annual funding to $15.40 million a year. (Found on page 8).

• To achieve a PCI of 70, which would get our roads to the cusp of the Satisfactory level, would require annual funding of $24.878 million per year. (Found on page 8).

• Our alleys have a PCI rating of 50 (Poor), with a cost of $1.859 million needed annually for 5 years to improve them to a rating of 70. (Found on page 8).

• Our parking lots have a PCI rating of 39 (Very Poor) with a cost of $1.258 million needed annually for 5 years to improve them to a rating of 70. (Found on page 8).
