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 Studyl, a number of streets need seal coating or overlay. <br /> The City must strive to make the necessary improvements 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 streets and systematically set up yearly street <br /> improvements programs based on tangible evidence. This evidence is the <br /> rating figures for each particular street. The Study takes a wide variety <br /> of street criteria, such as age, type and severity of problem areas and <br /> existing pavement thickness to give each street d 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 />
