"Overall, the transit agency found that the Bay Area's 44,000 miles of local roads are wearing down, with the typical stretch of roadway likely needing repairs soon. The report assigned each of the 110 cities and counties in the region a score on a 100-point scale. For the tenth year in a row, the Bay Area's roads registered an average of 67, considered "fair.""
""The good news is our cities and counties are continuing to hold the line against major deterioration," the commission's chair, Sue Noack, also the mayor of Pleasant Hill, said in a statement. "But the bad news is we're still just as far away from bringing the regional average into the 'very good' range as we were a decade ago." Affluent cities tend to rank higher in the report, with Larkspur, Palo Alto, Cupertino, Orinda and Hillsborough all scoring over 80, considered "very good.""
The Metropolitan Transportation Commission scored 110 Bay Area cities and counties on a 100-point scale and found the regional average road condition at 67, classified as 'fair.' The agency reported 44,000 miles of local roads are deteriorating and that typical stretches will likely need repairs soon. Larkspur received the highest score, earning the title of best-maintained roads, while Vallejo was rated the only community with 'poor' conditions. Affluent cities generally scored higher, and Larkspur's improvement followed two sales tax measures that funded a five-year rehabilitation of its 65 miles of streets.
