The Solana Beach City Council approved an agreement July 15 with Quality Engineering Solutions and other measures related to the city\u2019s pavement management program, including a five-year update.<\/p>\n
The most recent pavement management program update in 2021 showed the city\u2019s overall pavement condition index score rise to 73.4 out of 100, a 6-point improvement from the five years prior, indicating roads are generally in a satisfactory condition.<\/p>\n
The contract with Quality Engineering Solutions includes a base fee of $42,000<\/p>\n
According to a council agenda report, the scope of work includes \u201ca full citywide pavement condition survey, database review and segmentation update, GIS layer creation, field data collection, development of maintenance and rehabilitation strategies, a prioritized five-year Capital Improvement Plan, annual PMP update support, and final reports and presentations to City Council.\u201d<\/p>\n
After the 2026 pavement management program update is complete, there will be an updated citywide pavement conditions index database \u201cand a priority project list of street segments recommended for maintenance or rehabilitation in fiscal year 2026-27 and beyond,\u201d according to the staff report.<\/p>\n
\u201cI love this new proactive goal, versus the reactive thing,\u201d Solana Beach City Councilmember Jewel Edson said. \u201cWhile we have the Solana Beach site where people can report things, I think it\u2019s wonderful that we\u2019re going to be doing a lot more proactive monitoring.\u201d<\/p>\n
Solana Beach City Councilmember Dave Zito said there should be a way to evaluate the bike lanes throughout the city.<\/p>\n
\u201cSomething that\u2019s not a very big imperfection on the street for a car can be something that can take out a cyclist, whether it be a small crack surface or a bump in the road or something like that,\u201d Zito said. \u201cThat might be more than we can figure out this time, but I think it would be very useful. I already know a couple of areas in the city where the street probably gets a really good rating, but because of trees next to the bike lane growing in the bike lane area, there are some bumps that make it a poor experience for bicyclists.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Solana Beach City Council approved an agreement July 15 with Quality Engineering Solutions and other measures related…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":24379,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[310,311,74,76,75],"class_list":["post-404632","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-san-diego","tag-del-mar-times","tag-del-mar-times-news","tag-san-diego","tag-san-diego-headlines","tag-san-diego-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/404632","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=404632"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/404632\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/24379"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=404632"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=404632"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=404632"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
