I I. I I I I I I I .. I I I I I I I .. I I. INTRODUCTION On March 25, 2002 the Arden Hills City Council authorized the preparation of a feasibility study for the 2002 Street Improvements Project. The proposed 2002 Pavement Management Program consists of the proposed reconstruction of Hunters Court and Waldon Place. The proposed project is located in the southeast quadrant of Arden Hills, west of Lexington Avenue at the south end of Benton Way. Currently both Cul-de-sacs have a road width of 34' and an end radius of 50'. The right of way is 60' on the road section and has a radius of 60' centered on the end section. Exhibits 1 and 2 show the project location. The City has implemented a pavement management program, which includes field surveying every section of roadway every three years to monitor the changing conditions. This survey measures all of the pavement distresses within a road segment, which in turn helps to assign a Pavement Condition Index (PCI) to that particular road segment. To implement a maintenance program, specific maintenance treatments are recommended based on the PCI values of the street. The following table illustrates the generally recommended maintenance treatment for a given PCI. PCI 100-81 80-61 60-0 TREATMENT Spot Repair, Crack Seal and Seal Coat Mill and Overlay Complete Reconstruct Hunters Court serves as access for nine single family homes and Waldon Place serves as access to seven single family homes. Both cul-de-sacs were constructed in 1974 and are exhibiting signs of pavement failure. The City maintenance crews have expended a substantial amount of time and resources in the last few years to keep these two sections of road passable. Both Hunters Court and Waldon Place have some of the lowest PCI values in the entire city with respective values of 20 and 9. This report evaluates the reconstruction of both cul-de-sacs at a 32' wide road section with a 50' radius end and a 28' wide road section with a 40' radius end. In addition the feasibility of full depth mill and overlay has also been evaluated. A neighborhood informational meeting was held on March 19,2002 for this proposed project. During the meeting the City Engineer explained the reason for the pavement deterioration and discussed typical road construction standards within the City Arden Hills. During the meeting residents expressed the opinion that the City should implement a neighborhood approach to street reconstruction and maintenance. Many residents felt that Hunters Court and Waldon Place should be reconstructed but would like to see the reconstruction occur in conjunction with Benton Way. The residents took an informal vote at the end of the meeting to mill and overlay the street to "hold it over" until Benton Way was reconstructed. ," 3
