Street Maintenance & Repair

City of RocklinIn keeping with the high quality of living in Rocklin, Public Services strives to keep every street in good riding condition, drainage and appearance.


What is street maintenance?
Streets are constantly under siege by the elements of rain, sun, and the weight of cars, trucks, and other vehicles. Cracks, potholes, and other weaknesses form because of these stressors.

Street maintenance is routine work to keep the pavement in a condition as close as possible to "new" condition. This effectively uses limited available funds and provides maximum benefit to the traveling public by enhancing safety and ride comfort of the roadway. Street maintenance can be divided into three strategies: maintenance, resurfacing and transition.

Project List Development
The City performs an inventory of the entire road network on a rotating basis every three years. Thirteen different distress and roughness data are collected. Each distress is measured with three severity levels and five density levels. The roughness is collected using five levels. Other information included: age, location, maintenance history of the roadway, curb shoulder and pavement types and street functional classifications.

The needs list is developed using data in the Pavement Management System. The analytical routines unique to the Pavement Management System allow the City to better assess the whole street network objectively and to develop a rehabilitation program that maintains every street at the most cost-effective point.

The City spends approximately $1.5 million annually for street maintenance resurfacing projects. The Pavement Management System has identified $3.0 million annually for street maintenance resurfacing. The City is back-logged because of this shortfall. Our annual street resurfacing program is currently funded through federal and state gas tax dollars. Additional funding sources need to be identified.
