Capital Improvement Plan 2012 thru 2016 Department Street Department City of Arden Hills, Minnesota Contact Public Works Director Type Operational Maintenance Project# 11-Str-001 Useful Life 8-10 Project Name Regulatory Street Sign Replacement Program Category Streets:Misc Priority n/a Total Project Cost: $50,000 Description In December 2008,the FHWA adopted changes to the Manual for Uniform Traffic Control Devices(MUTCD)as they relate to reflectivity of regulatory,warning,and guide signs on streets. These changes were adopted to Federal Law. These changes effectively make Engineer Grade signs no longer compliant after 2014. This will be a phased in project beginning with inspection and inventory of our existing signs. This review must be complete before January 2012. After the inspection,a systematic replacement will be developed.All non-compliant regulatory,warning, and ground mounted guide signs must be replaced before January 2015.All non-compliant street name and overhead guide signs must be replaced by January 2018. It is estimated that to maintain the new reflectictivity requirements signs will be replaced with Diamond Grade material and replaced at the end of the warranty period;8-10 years. Sign posts will also be inventoried and replaced as needed to be in compliance with the Federal law. Justification To meet new Federal Law requirements.
