Review of Road Services Division Pavement Preservation
July 15, 2014
It is vital that the Road Services Division (RSD) take strategic actions for using its greatly reduced pavement preservation resources cost effectively. RSD’s recent road services plan introduces a number of new strategies to lessen impacts to road users and avoid costly road reconstruction; however, RSD’s financial challenges will have unavoidable negative implications for the future condition of King County’s road network. Other western Washington counties have applied innovative, cost-effective approaches to pavement preservation enabling them to keep their road networks in better condition while dealing with their own financial constraints. We make recommendations to leverage data and make decisions aimed at a more cost-effective preservation program with improved outcomes.
