Paving Program

The City of Stonecrest has been paving the City Streets since 2019.

The city utilizes annual SPLOST allocation and Local Maintenance & Improvement Grant (LMIG) administered by Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) to resurface city streets.

The City has performed two conditional assessments of all City streets, first, in the spring of 2019 and second, in the fall of 2023. The assessment provides a Pavement Condition Index (PCI) score for each road segment. A PCI score is on a scale of 0-100, with 100 being the highest. A segment is the part of a road between two intersections. This PCI is a weighted average of Roughness Index and Surface Distress Index. Meaning, some roads that appear to be in worse condition to the naked eye may have a higher PCI index than other roads that appear to be in better condition, based on roughness and distress.

The pavement list is prioritized based on the PCI in addition to the potential traffic volume on each road, which can make some roads with higher PCIs result in worse conditions in the very near future.

The city has completed the 2023 Annual Street resurfacing recently. The City Council approved the 2024 Street resurfacing contract on July 8, 2024.

The City of Stonecrest prioritized the major arterial and collector streets in 2021. The City paved some local streets and mainly major arterials and collector streets in 2019 and 2020. The City shifted the focus on local streets and included only local streets in 2022 and 2023. DeKalb County voters approved SPLOST II in November 2023, and a portion of the SPLOST II funding will be used for street resurfacing from 2025 to 2031.

Instead of arbitrarily choosing the roads for annual paving, the City of Stonecrest intends to implement the Technical Report and the PCI numbers from the street assessment prepared by the independent professional firm, based on funds appropriated by Council in each December for the next fiscal year.
