Public Works has been recognized with a national award for their
Roller Compacted Concrete (RCC) Streets Project. The honor, given by the American Concrete Pavement Association, commended the City’s use of this new technology.
The RCC project built roads estimated to last three times longer than those built with traditional asphalt. This means the new, roller-compacted streets have a life span of 20–25 years without maintenance, while asphalt requires resurfacing every 7–10 years. This allows the City to make better use limited dollars to repair more streets. This
map shows the project areas.
Funding for this project came in part from
SB1 gas tax (Senate Bill 1 passed in 2017), existing gas tax, developer-paid traffic mitigation fees, and other local transportation funds.
Nationally, only 27 projects were recognized with this award. The City’s Roller Compacted Concrete Project has
received other awards from other state, national, and industry organizations.
