Pittsburg has initiated efforts to improve its streets, but the task poses significant challenges due to limited funding and escalating costs. Public Works Director, John Samuelson, noted that a total of $144 million is required for proper road maintenance, though the city currently allocates only $4 million each year, falling short of the $12 million necessary to enhance road conditions. With a Pavement Condition Index score of 60, classified as fair, the city aims to rehabilitate roads systematically by dividing them into zones for systematic management, focusing on preservation before deterioration ensues.
Samuelson emphasized the need to rehabilitate and preserve roads before they fail to avoid more costly repairs later, reiterating that new roads stay in good shape longer.
