EXISTING STREET CONDITIONS The project area includes single family properties in a fully developed neighborhood; all of the properties adjacent to these streets are zoned R-1. There is limited access to this neighborhood; therefore, these streets carry low volumes of traffic. There are no commercial or institutional uses affected by the proposed improvements. There is one parcel, Johanna Marsh, which is a City owned parcel. Northwestern College abuts the project, however, does not have any access to the project area. Both Asbury Street and Ridgewood Road extend past the municipal boundary into Roseville. i Arden Hills' pavement management system utilizes a Pavement Condition Index (PCI) rating of 0 to 100 where street ratings are classified in three categories: "adequate" (66-100), "marginal" (31-65), and "problem" (0-30). Ratings are based on observations of each of the street's pavement surfaces. Generally, the three categories correspond to a level of most cost effective improvement as follows: (0-30) pavement reconstruction, (31-65) bituminous overlay or reclaim, and (66-100) sealcoat and/or crack sealing. This rating system assists in prioritizing roadway improvements and projecting costs for use in the City's pavement management and capital improvement plans. In 2011, GoodPointe Technology rated the City's streets and entered the PCI values into GoodPoint's pavement management software. 2011 PCI 2011 Street Value Category Glenhill Road 51 Marginal Asbury Avenue, City limits to Glenhill 74 Adequate Road Asbury Avenue, Glenhill Road to 70 Adequate Edgewater Avenue Ridgewood Road, City limits to Glenhill 66 Adequate Road Ridgewood Road, Glenhill Road to cul de 36 Marginal sac Edgewater Avenue 34 Marginal Actual levels of street improvements are determined by obtaining soil borings and a comprehensive geotechnical evaluation report. Soil borings have been obtained and are included in Appendix E of this report. City staff has reviewed the soil boring results and have verified that the recommended improvements as described are appropriate. All of the existing streets are located within a sixty foot right-of-way. None of the streets have concrete curb and gutter and there are no existing sidewalks or paths. The streets have an average pavement thickness of 3 to 4 inches, with a subsurface consisting mainly of sandy lean clays. The roads are approximately 50 years old. 2
