INTRODUCTION , On September 13, 2004, the Arden Hills City Council authorized the preparation of a feasibility study for the 2005 Pavement Management Program. The proposed 2005 Pavement Management Program consists of the proposed reconstruction of Dunlap Street and the frontage road along TH51 and rehabilitation of Red Fox Road, Grey Fox Road and Northwoods Dri ve, The project area is located immediately south of 1-694 and west of Lexington Avenue and is used primarily for light industrial, commercial and business offices. PAVEMENT MANAGEMENT PROGRAM PmLOSOPHY The current Pavement Management Program policy was adopted by the Council during the Fall of 2001. The adopted City approach to pavement management is,based upon considering neighborhoods as a whole. The City has implemented a pavement management program, which includes field surveying each roadway every three years to monitor its conditions, identify trends and extrapolate pavement life expectancies. This survey measures all of the pavement distresses within a road segment and results in a numerical Pavement Condition Index (PC!) unique to each particular road segment. To implement a maintenance program, specific rehabilitation I reconstruction treatments are recommended based on the PCI values of the street. A specific PCI value is assigned to streets and used to rank all the City Streets in order from highest to lowest PCI (or best to worst), The PCI ranking can then be used to determine the streets and neighborhoods, that are ranked worse in comparison to the City as a whole, and singled out for improvements, The PCI value doesn't determine the rehabilitation or reconstruction cost of a project, but mcrely prioritizes all the City streets to determine those that are in the worse condition and in most urgent need of repair. The following table illustrates the generally recommended treatment for a given PCL PCI 100-81 80-61 60-0 TREATMENT Spot Repair, Crack Seal and Seal Coat Mill and Overlay Complete Reconstruct In addition to surface PCI ratings, issues such as drainagelflooding, water quality improvements, conformance with design standards and utility condition are considered when developing the recommended priority for reconstruction and rehabilitation of City pavements, This approach allows for the City to address storm drainage and water quality issues, which typically cannot be effectively solved on a street by street basis. Additionally, the neighborhood approach provides some economy of construction costs and limits impacts to neighborhoods for one season of construction instead of multiple seasons over a period of several years.
