New City, NY — The Town of Clarkstown Town Board has taken decisive action to enter into a partnership with the Pavement Management Group (PMG). PMG is a nationally recognized professional pavement management firm specializing in meticulous roadway condition assessments, strategic pavement planning, and long-term budget forecasting. Through this collaboration, the Town will gain access to advanced analytical tools to implement a comprehensive paving management system designed to target roadway improvements and extend pavement lifespan, while supporting cost-effective maintenance investments.
As part of the initiative, PMG will begin by using its cutting-edge software to conduct a full review of Clarkstown’s 288-mile road network and existing Geographic Information System (GIS) data.This process will further enhance the Town’s sophisticated GIS and ensure up-to-date data accuracy, establishing a reliable foundation for future paving.
Following the database validation phase, PMG will deploy HD on-site video capture technology to document roadway conditions throughout the town in real-time. The device is equipped with automated distress detection software that instantly evaluates road conditions using a standardized grading scale with a high-degree of accuracy. In order to correct existing constraints, the street-level imaging system will generate a highly-detailed visual record of pavement conditions for remote observation, thereby significantly reducing the need for redundant, time-intensive field inspections and less consistent assessment practices that have historically limited effectiveness.This partnership creates an opportunity for a more modern, scientifically grounded system supported by a robust organizational framework with methodical approaches to surveying municipal roadways. By leveraging this technology, Clarkstown will be better equipped to proactively manage its road network and use data-driven strategies to prioritize funding where it is needed most.
Supervisor George Hoehmann stated, “This partnership represents a significant step forward in modernizing infrastructure management and ensuring safer, more reliable roads for residents. The Town of Clarkstown will always look for new efficient ways to manage our roads and maintain more resilient infrastructure.”
Howard Mills of PMG stated, “Pavement Management Group is proud to partner with the Town of Clarkstown in developing a pavement management program that will maximize the investment of the taxpayers and improve the Town’s roadway network. Our process is transparent, objective, and will enable Clarkstown’s leaders to better communicate their roadway infrastructure plans to their residents”
The Town of Clarkstown remains committed to improving public services and maintaining high-quality infrastructure. This partnership marks a significant milestone in meeting those objectives.
