I ~ ~HILLS Ingerson Neighborhood Q&A Pavement Management Meeting (PMP) July 18, 2002; 7:00 p.m. Page 4 of8 I I I I Comment: Have any new reports been performed since the last time this project was visited? No new reports or studies have been completed. Comment: Want to make the statement the Water Quality Task Force is not agreement with any curb or gutter on the street. Comment: I thought Fernwood Court was not considered a part of the project. There are only two homes on that road so there is very little traffic. Certainly Fernwood Court is considered on the good end of the spectrum. If we were using the street by street philosophy as used in the past, then Fernwood Court would be considered. The City is now using the neighborhood approach so that is why Fernwood Court is being looked at. Comment: Have new ratings be done? Last ratings were performed in spring of 2002. I I II I I I I I I I , I Comment: You keep mentioning the City's fiduciary responsible. Is it wise to spend if there is so little traffic on a street and it may be years before the road truly deteriorates? Again, it is in the discussion tonight because we are using the neighborhood approach. Comment: What company rates the roads? URS. The numbers are relative and are not the only factor used. The rating tries to put a degree of science. It is adopted around the country and is a well respected tool. People are trained in this rating process and it is as scientific as possible. Comment: Isn't it true that URS would stand to gain if they rated the roads on the lower end so work would have to be performed? There is no impartiality by URS. URS uses the ratings simply as a tool to help the City budget the money to maintain the streets. Comment: The county had previously rated some of these same roads a lot high and now they appear to quickly gone down in ratings. Councilmember Aplikowski stated the City uses URS as their engineering consultant because they believe in their credibility.
