Palmdale to begin Rancho Vista overlay

by The AV Times Staff • September 19, 2016

road constructionPALMDALE — The city of Palmdale will begin a road resurfacing project Monday, Sept. 19, on Rancho Vista Blvd., from 30th Street West to Avenue N-8.

The $1.5 million project was awarded to Hardee & Harper at the June City Council meeting. The project will resurface 1,162,000 square feet of pavement, roughly four percent of the arterial network.

The work will be done from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and is expected to end Thursday, Oct. 13.

“This method of pavement preservation will ensure the streets will maintain performance and utilize the existing pavement asset an additional 20 years before the area will need to be revisited,” stated Palmdale Public Works Director Mike Mischel.

The project is funded by a $1.4 million street resurfacing federal grant and an additional $160,000 from the street resurfacing grant AB 2925.

“The city of Palmdale has 504 miles of roads, totaling over 91.8 million square feet of asphalt,” noted Mischel. “Regular maintenance of roads is an important part of the city’s ongoing capital improvement projects.”

For more information, contact Public Works at 661-267-5300.

    Palmdale needs to widen Ave N between Sierra Hwy and 50th West.

      Isn’t most of that in the unincorporated county?

        Yes. West of the freeway out to 45th is county.

    I love watching how Councilman “Blowhard” Hofbauer tries to take credit for everything happening under the sun including road repaving. A CIP scedualed maintinance project that staff implements every year. Hofbauer is such a blowhard that really thinks he is important to the betterment of Palmdale. He can’t get out of his own way.

    The dates and days in this article do not match the 2016 calendar. Also, why is this work not being accomplished in the evening like the area by the railroad tracks was? It sure made for better traffic management during the rush hours, not having the roads closed.

    I invite anyone to drive in that area before it gets fixed and then drive between Sierra Highway and 50th Street East. See for yourselves which side should have been overlaid first. I am guessing the West side is more important than the East side?

      Dunno about more important, but definitely gets a lot more usage. The biggest road improvement that the east side needed was the Avenue S project, and that’s getting done.

      Where was Steve “Blowhard” Hofbauer for the Rancho Vista improvments? He failed us again.

    Such a shame LANCASTER doesn’t believe in capital improvements or regular maintenance of roads…..

      They believe in it, it’s just that after Rex and his cronies skim off “their fair share” there’s no money left for such trivialities.

      Lancaster would rather give $10 million dollars to Rex’s contributor for the Eye in the Sky that does nothing. Then they have to pay for all the lawsuits on account of Rex’s big mouth. Then there’s the money wasted on Ecolution. So with what’s left, they try to sell us on some black road paint. We all suffer but he and his pals thrive.
