Berkeley periodically reassesses street conditions under its Pavement Management Program and apparently distributes the results of that survey for entire street network as a PDF table. This data is pretty detailed: it includes an index of street segments, measured centerline distances, and their most recent maintenance history (namely, the renovation and when the project was completed). I used Tabula to extract this data and posted it here: https://github.com/mookerji/berkeley-data.

There’s some interesting stuff! For example, the City started doing more preventative maintenance in 2015 (assuming this attribution is correct):

Caveat: these numbers do differ slightly from the recent numbers reported by the City here.

Renovations ebb and flow, but recent, major repaving work seems to average ~3miles/year. I have no sense of whether that typical performance for a city Berkeley’s size.
