The City of Greenville, in partnership with CONSOR Engineering and Roadway Asset Services (RAS), has surveyed the condition of city streets and created a seven-year paving maintenance plan for roadways owned by the city.
The survey was performed between October and December 2021 and provided the city with baseline road data. Using street prioritization software, city staff and its partners created an optimized seven-year paving plan based on the level of maintenance each roadway needs and cost associated with those repairs.
The seven-year paving plan takes advantage of treatment types aimed at preservation, rehabilitation and reconstruction rather than simply working on the “worst first,” a method that would result in far more costly lifecycle costs.
The City will use $6 million from the Neighborhood Infrastructure Bond to cover the first two years of work. Funding for the program will return to an annual expenditure of $1.5 million per year for the following five years.
The survey found 85.5% of the networks of streets were in good, satisfactory or fair condition. Over the course of the next seven years, approximately 33% of the existing city streets will be treated in the current plan.
