Cleveland Pavement Management Study

A data-driven, PCR-graded maintenance & capital investment framework for the City of Cleveland street network — with an interactive 10-year budget model spanning infrared repair, mill-and-repave, and saw-cut reconstruction.

Network Condition Snapshot

Every figure below is computed live from the 2025 Pavement Condition Rating (PCR) file for the Cleveland network. Grades follow your band definitions: A 91–100, B 81–90, C 71–80, D 61–70, F 60 and below.

Treatment Method & Decision Matrix

Each grade band maps to the most cost-effective treatment. Preventive infrared work protects streets that are still sound; repaving rehabilitates the middle; saw-cut reconstruction is reserved for full structural failures — the method of last resort and the most expensive per square yard.

A

Crack Seal / Preventive Hold

Excellent pavement (PCR 91–100). Seal cracks before water intrusion begins; no surface treatment required this cycle. Lowest cost-per-mile in the program.

PREVENTIVE · SEALANT
B

Infrared Spot Repair — Potholes & Cracks

Good pavement (PCR 81–90). Kasi Infrared Patriot heats, scarifies and recompacts distressed patches with no cold joints — a seamless, waterproof repair that keeps a B street from slipping to C. Only the distressed fraction of the surface is treated.

INFRARED · CORRECTIVE-PREVENTIVE
C

Infrared Repair (Heavier) → Repave Watchlist

Fair pavement (PCR 71–80). Infrared remains viable for potholes, utility-cut and edge repair; segments trending toward D are flagged for mill-and-overlay in the next cycle.

INFRARED
D

Mill & Repave — Full-Width Overlay

Poor pavement (PCR 61–70). Structurally sound base but a failing surface: repave the full segment area. This is your adjustable $/SY repave rate in the model below.

REPAVE · $/SY ADJUSTABLE
F

Saw-Cut, Remove & Replace — Full-Depth Reconstruction

Failed pavement (PCR ≤ 60). Base course has lost support; surface treatment would fail within a season. Saw-cut to full depth, rebuild base, and repave. Longest-lived repair (10–15+ yrs) and the highest unit cost.

RECONSTRUCTION · FULL-DEPTH

Interactive 10-Year Budget Model

Set your unit costs and annual budget. The model runs a worst-first program: reconstruct F, repave D, then apply preventive infrared to C and B — while the untreated network keeps deteriorating. Every number, table and chart below updates live.

Condition by Ward

Surface area (SY) in each grade, by ward. Use this to target the annual program equitably — the highest F-area wards carry the largest reconstruction backlog.

Interactive Ward Pavement Map

Wards are colored by mean PCR grade. Click any ward — on the map or in the table below — to see its pavement condition: mean PCR, grade, the A–F grade mix, and failed-pavement (F) backlog. The map and table stay in sync. Ward 8 (Hough) holds the largest F backlog (~1.27M SY).

Live interactive map — requires an internet connection (Leaflet, CartoDB basemap, City ward boundaries). Pan/zoom inside the frame; the study controls above are unaffected.
WardSegmentsMean PCR ABCDF F-Reconstruct $
Totals are in square yards (SY). Ward-total mean PCR is weighted by surface area. *Citywide is the full 2025 condition file; it includes 125 segments that fall outside the 15 wards (unassigned or boundary streets), so it runs slightly higher than the ward total. F-Reconstruct $ = ward F-area × current saw-cut rate.

Ward Budget Planner — Special Revenue Fund + Council Casino Funds

Each of the 15 wards receives a share of the annual program budget set in Section 04, allocated worst to best: a ward's share equals its share of the citywide repair need at the current unit rates (F reconstruction + D repave + infrared on B/C). A Council member can add Casino funds on top and see the ward's projected year-end PCR.

Planning model: each ward runs the same program as Section 04 (worst-first in target mode, or your fix-mix in budget mode) on its own 2025 A–F square yards, at citywide unit rates and deterioration. Year-end PCR is calibrated so 2025 matches the ward's actual mean PCR in the table above. Grades: A 91–100 · B 81–90 · C 71–80 · D 61–70 · F ≤60.
