The City of Arden Hills Pavement Management Program strives to expend tax payer funds in a cost effective manner in order to ensure the most value for residents. New Street Desi!!n Standards . The City has adopted a set of Design Standards for new street construction or reconstruction. The standards have been developed in conjunction with recommendations from the City Engineer, Public Works Director and staff, City residents and Council members. Street design standards address such things as street widths, pavement thickness, concrete curb and gutter and surface drainage. There are four functional classifications of streets within the City of Arden Hills (not including highways and county roads). A brief description of each and the recommended standards follows: Community Street: Provide access to the residences, institutions and businesses on that street, providing a route through the neighborhood or business district for residents of other neighborhoods.
