Concord showed council that flat paving funding would drop its road score from 70 to 61.
The paving lead used a 10-year plan in Cyvl to show council that level funding isn't enough.
- 70 to 61
- average road score over 10 years with flat funding
- $2.8M
- yearly paving budget held flat in the 10-year plan
Every two years, Concord sent interns to drive every city street and rate what they saw. Staff worried the scores depended on who was looking, and the city knew where its sidewalks were but not their condition.
City staff mapped about 220 miles of road themselves with Cyvl, and every road got a score. The paving lead then ran a 10-year plan in Cyvl: holding the yearly paving budget flat at $2.8 million would let the average road score slide from 70 to 61. He used that to show council that level funding is not enough.

That's where we got to show council: just level funding, this is not going to do it.
