Local Road Rehabilitation Program (LRRP)

The Local Road Rehabilitation Program (LRRP) was established by the County of Monterey Board of Supervisors (BOS) on January 30, 2024. The goal of the program is to improve the pavement condition of county's local roads, i.e. neighborhood streets. Through the Board policy, the BOS established the LRRP to supplement other existing road repair and rehabilitation programs designated for the county arterial road system. The BOS is proposing to fund the LRRP via an annual allocation of the Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT). The annual TOT allocation for the LRRP is estimated at $5.5 million.

The framework of the LRRP establishes individual projects within the program based on the following items:

Deferred maintenance on County maintained roads in neighborhoods which are part of disadvantaged communities.
Deferred maintenance on County maintained roads in neighborhoods which are part of communities without County Service Areas (CSAs).
One-time deferred maintenance on County maintained roads in neighborhoods which are part of CSA areas - with concurrent commitment to activation and utilization of the CSA's "Street and Sidewalk Maintenance" function moving forward.

KEY ELEMENTS OF LRRP:

Initial Road Repair Plan

Initial Road Repair Plan - will be utilized as a guide for the LRRP. During the initial 10-year period timeframe, Program capital investments will follow the plan as outlined in the Summary Report prepared by Harris & Associates dated September 16, 2022, unless subsequently modified by action of the Board of Supervisors. The "Initial 10-Year Road Repair Plan" (Pilot Plan) is set forth in Table 6 therein as a guide for Program investments.

Annual CIP Process

Engineering and Best-Practice Based

Engineering and Best-Practice Based - Maintenance and rehabilitation strategies will be developed utilizing appropriate engineering evaluations to make cost-effective decisions related to the specific roads and network. Specific rehabilitation strategies elected will depend on functional class, pavement conditions, and the type of distresses found in the roadway sections. The LRRP will focus on, and will be limited to, pavement repair and rehabilitation. It does not include addressing existing deficiencies in rights-of-way, sidewalks, drainage systems, trees, bus pads, etc. - or nonstructural improvements such as decorative crosswalks, medians, lighting, and street furniture. Those and other road related repair needs will be addressed via other road maintenance funding programs.
