MTC: Hercules Roads in ‘Good’ Condition
— by Jeffrey Wisniewski — 1 February 2010 — No comments yet »
A study by the Metropolitan Transportation Committee (MTC; the purse strings) found that Hercules roads were in “good” condition in 2009 (defined as a Pavement Condition Index, or PCI, between 70 and 79). The overall grade for the 124 lane miles of Hercules roads was 73 for 2009, which falls in line with grades in the recent past, typically between 72 and 75 since 2005.
In order to encourage a neighborly rivalry, it should be noted that Pinole’s roads were also “good” but received a lesser grade of 70. (Relish this while it lasts.)
According to the study (via SFAppeal’s The Alley), the best roads are apparently in Brentwood, the land of flat roads, where town meets country.
