<br />~ <br />~HILLS <br /> <br />CITY OF ARDEN HILLS <br />PAVEMENT MANAGEMENT PROGRAM <br /> <br />Pavement Manaf.!ement Philosophy <br /> <br />The City of Arden Hills has the fIduciary and physical authority and responsibility for <br />upkeep of approximately 30 miles of city streets within its boundaries. This includes seasonal <br />maintenance activities such as snow removal, crack sealing, street patching, sweeping, as <br />well as structural maintenance of the pavement. The City of Arden Hills has made a <br />commitment to its residents to provide a systematic program of street rehabilitation and <br />repair in order to assure that the City streets are serviceable, safe, functional, and provided at <br />a reasonable cost to meet the needs of our residents and the traveling public. The City of <br />Arden Hills Pavement Management Program strives to expend tax payer funds in a cost <br />effective manner in order to ensure the most value for residents. <br /> <br />New Street Desif.!n Standards <br /> <br />The City has adopted a set of Design Standards for new street construction or reconstruction. <br />The standards have been developed in conjunction with recommendations from the City <br />Engineer, Public Works Director and staff, City residents and Council members. Street <br />design standards address such things as street widths (which measure from curb face to curb <br />face), pavement thickness, concrete curb and gutter and surface drainage. Thcre are four <br />functional classifications of streets within the City of Arden Hills (not including highways <br />and county roads). A brief description of each and the recommended standards follows: <br /> <br />Community Street: <br />Provide access to the residences, institutions and businesses on that strect, providing a <br />route through the neighborhood or business district for residents of other <br />neighborhoods. (6.0 miles throughout City) <br />Street Width: Case SpecifIc, (32 ft. minimum) <br /> <br />Neif.!hborhood Street: <br />Provide access to residences on that street and provide a route through neighborhood <br />for residents on other streets. A large proportion of trips have neither an origin or <br />destination on that street. (4.5 miles throughout City) <br />Street Width: 30 ft. minimum <br /> <br />Residential Street: <br />Primarily serve adjoining residents with little or no through traffic. Almost all trips <br />have either an origin or destination on that street. (18.5 miles throughout City). <br />Street Width: 28 ft. minimum <br /> <br />City of Arden Hills Pavement Management Program <br /> <br />Page I <br /> <br />4/12/2007 <br />
