DISCUSSION
The current condition of the pavement surface of Johnson Avenue between Buchon Street and
Orcutt Road is in fair to poor condition. In 1999, City staff identified this portion of roadway as a
potential candidate for a pavement rehabilitation project to be fully funded by the State
Transportation Improvement Program(STIP).
In March 2000, City Public Works staff submitted an application to the San Luis Obispo Council of
Governments for funding of this project. This initial funding request was approved. These funds
were allocated by the State on January 2, 2001 thus authorizing our expenditure of these funds.
The total amount of the State funds allocated was $750,000,which was the same as the preliminary
cost estimate for this project.
Johnson Avenue is an Arterial street in City Pavement Area 2, as identified in the 1998 Pavement
Management Plan (PMP). Most of the streets in Pavement Area 2 were paved or resealed in 1999.
The paving of the Johnson Avenue in 1999 however, was delayed due to a waterline project that
was soon to be constructed along this same location. That waterline construction project was
completed in early 2000. Upon completion of the waterline construction project, the City Council
identified Johnson Avenue paving as being a project of high priority.
Included in this project are some modifications to the existing striping. The portion from Laurel
Lane to Orcutt Road currently has two lanes in each direction. The proposed modification to the
striping pattern is to provide one lane in each direction, a two-way left tum lane, as well as bike
lanes and parking on both sides of the street. These changes are being made to increase the safety
of the roadway, and to bring the section of Johnson Avenue more in character with the surrounding
neighborhoods. You may remember a Council note sent to you in mid February advising you that
we were planning to do this. At that time staff also sent letters to the residents and occupants along
this portion of Johnson Avenue advising them of our plan and asking them to let us know what they
