Street Resurfacing Program

  • Project typeStreets and sidewalks

This program includes the planning, design, and construction of City street maintenance projects each fiscal year. A Pavement Management System is used to assist in the selection of streets for repair. This program enhances the City's roadway network and all projects are reviewed for multi-modal transportation improvements.

Pavement Overview 

Public Works is responsible for maintaining approximately 96 miles of roadway. To assist this effort, the City is assigned a Pavement Condition Index (PCI). The PCI evaluates streets numerically from 0 (failed) to 100 (new) as illustrated below. Menlo Park’s overall PCI is 76 (good) and ranks 21 of 110 Bay Area jurisdictions.

Status

Each year, staff assesses the condition of the City’s streets, evaluate funding, and propose an update for the maintenance of specific street segments. Staff is currently developing a five-year maintenance plan.
