The City of Encinitas manages 168.7 centerline miles of publicly owned and maintained roadway, comprised of 17 miles of arterial roadways, 33.4 miles of connector roads and 118.3 miles of residential roads.  The network consists of Asphalt Concrete (AC) roadways primarily constructed before the City's incorporation in 1986.

Streets are one of the City’s most valuable assets with an estimated asset value of $455 million.  Maintenance and rehabilitation on the City’s pavement network is performed annually to address streets that are in poor condition and to extend the service life of streets in good condition.  

The Annual Paving Program directly supports the City Council's 2025 Work Plan, Goal 2.3B to develop a plan to achieve a PCI of 75 within a 5-10 year period.  According to the 2025 Pavement Condition Assessment Report, the city's street network was classified in "Good" condition with a network-wide Pavement Condition Index (PCI) of 75.  A one-point improvement from the 2020 assessment (PCI 74) which demonstrates the positive impact of the City's focused investment strategy over the past five years.

  The CalRecycle Rubberized Pavement Grant Program promotes use of recycled-content asphalt surfacing products made from waste tires generated in California, with a goal to mitigate stockpiling of waste tires and increase durability of public roads. 
  
  The CS25A project utilized recycled-content asphalt surfacing products within major roads such as Birmingham Drive and Leucadia Boulevard.  As a result of the CalRecycle Rubberized Pavement Grant program, approximately 21,546 tires were diverted from landfills.
