Overview
Pavement preservation is completed to protect the base material of our roads and minimize pavement issues, such as potholes or rutting. Most importantly, pavement preservation allows the County to stretch taxpayer dollars further by providing a greater return on investment.
For every $1 spent on pavement preservation, we save an estimated $6 to $10 or more in future reconstruction costs. By resurfacing at the right time, we can extend the life of the pavement at a much lower cost than reconstructing the roadway at a later date.
Roadways are selected based on condition inspection, location groupings and timing to apply treatment before the roadway needs more expensive reconstruction measures.
The funding source for pavement preservation is the Penny for Pinellas.
Municipal Services Taxing Unit Roadway Program
The Municipal Services Taxing Unit (MSTU) Roadway Program addresses roadways that don’t currently meet County design standards. These roadways are being improved under the MSTU Roadway Program. Staff assess categories and prioritize each of the County’s MSTU roadways.
- Category I: Roadways that require little to no engineering or prep work and can easily be paved.
- Category II: Roadways that require roadway widening to reach the standard minimum width, some engineering, possible permitting and prep work.
- Category III: Roadways that require extensive design work, permitting, utility work and possible right-of-way acquisition.
Roadways are selected for paving based on condition inspection, location groupings and the right timing to apply treatment before the roadway needs more expensive reconstruction measures.
The funding source for Municipal Services Taxing Unit Roadway Program is the General Fund.
