Based upon feedback from the City Council, residents of recently reconstructed streets in Arden Hills, and staff, we have attempted to develop a revised process for use in future improvements. TIlls letter will summarize that process and outline I a method and timeline for its implementation over the next year using the 1995 Pavement CiVIL ENGINEERING re-rating as a starting point, and concluding with the completion of a 1996 Street ."IIRONM'NTAL Improvement Project. I 'u\'IClFA'_ PLANNING Proposed Process SOUD\,'/ASTE I STRUCTURAL The revised PMS process should start with the re-rating of all streets within Arden Hills SURVEV,\jG during October. This operation should occur on a three year basis, and has not been TR,AfFIC completed since 1992. Based upon conversations with City staff, this work would be I TRANSP8RTATION completed using a combination of MSA and public works staff. Following the initial re-rating, MSA would update the computer fIles annually to move newly reconstructed, ELEcnICAl/N,EC,ANICAl rehabilitated, overlaid, or seal coated streets to appropriate locations within the master I ENGI\!::RI\!G street priority list. H'JA{ POWERCISTRIBU'llo.\i Data Gathering and Information Dissemination I SCADA SYSW;!, CONTROLS Upon completion of the street annual re-rating/revision, staff would most likely request I authorization to complete a feasibility study for those streets most in need of corrective action, as outlined above. This feasibility study would be more general in nature than recent studies, in an effort to give residents a basic idea of the various improvement I options, costs, and benefits related to the various means of improvement. Following the preparation of this report, MSA and staff would hold informational meetings with affected property owners. It may be necessary to hold more than one meeting as residents not I desiring street rehabilitation when proposed by the PMS, could ask that their streets be delayed. In this situation, those streets would be moved to the bottom of the PMS priority .FFICESIN: list and a follow-up informational meeting would be held for what we would classify as I MINNEAPOLIS "second priority" streets.
