Asset Management Plan Key Findings
Full information about the City's management of transportation assets is contained on pages 42–65 of the 2025 Corporate Asset Management Plan.
The 2025 Corporate Asset Management Plan includes three key findings:
- The current average PCI across all roads is 71 (good condition) but based on projects in the 10-year Capital Plan, the PCI is projected to decline to 67.5 by 2034. The additional road investment needed to maintain the PCI at 71 over the 10-year period is estimated at $3.8 million per year.
- A number of retaining walls have been identified that are at risk of failure, with an estimated 20 retaining walls (valued at approximately $10 million in total) needing renewal over the next 10 years.
- There is an investment gap of approximately $350,000 annually for guiderails. Addressing deficiencies requires dedicated funding that is not specifically allocated in the capital budget.
