<br /> CITY OF ARDEN HILLS <br /> -- JANUARY 15. 1990 <br /> "~ ,"AGE TWO <br /> - <br /> The primary function of this update is to help the City plan street <br /> improvement programs to stay ahead of major street problems throughout the <br /> City. By using the Pavement Management System. tough decisions can be made <br /> with regard to choosing street improvement programs that yield the best <br /> results for the City. It is imperative that the City maintain and improve <br /> existing streets at a faster rate than the streets are declining. If <br /> improvements are not made at a faster rate, reconstruction costs will <br /> escalate to the point where it will be impossible to fund all of the <br /> necessary work. As evidenced by the Pavement Management Study (hereafter <br /> referred to as the Study). a number of streets need seal coating or overlay. <br /> . -he City must strive tJ ~ake the 1ecessary imcrGvements to keep these <br /> streets from further decline and ultimately needing reconstruction. <br /> The Study is an on-going data base that provides the City a tremendous <br /> tool to compare various streecs and systematically set up yearly street <br /> improvements programs based on tangible evidence. This evidence is the <br /> ~ rating figures for each parti~ular street. The Study takes a wide variety <br /> - of street criteria. such as age, type and severity of problem areas and <br /> existing pavement chickness to give each street a single rating on a scale <br /> of 1 to 100. Following is a breakdown of the rating ranges and the <br /> action which is suggested by the rating on each particular street. <br /> . <br />
