�.� E HIL N LS MEMORANDUM DATE: January 25, 2010 TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members Sue Iverson, Acting City Administrator FROM: Kristine Giga, Civil Engineer SUBJECT: 2010 Pavement Management Program (PMP)- Valentine Avenue Back�round/Discussion On January 11, 2010, the City Council ordered the improvements and preparation of plans and specifications for the 2010 Pavement Management Program, with a 24-foot street width for Valentine Avenue. This design does not meet Municipal State Aid (MSA) design requirements; therefore this proj ect will not be eligible for MSA funds. An urban municipality's Municipal State Aid Street (MSAS) system is comprised of 20 percent of a city's county road and local improved mileage. Arden Hills' total street mileage is 30.85 miles; mileage allowed for MSA designation: 6.17 miles. Currently, Arden Hills has designated a116.17 miles allowed. The length of Valentine Avenue is 0.23 miles. The City does have options to reassign the mileage from Valentine Avenue to other streets. Staff must provide a list of street segments, historical maintenance information and existing conditions to Mn/DOT State Aid for their review in order for them to confirm these street segments as potential MSA candidates. Staff is working on coordinating this with Mn/DOT. A memorandum prepared for the April 30, 2007, City Council meeting regarding MSA street designation is attached for reference. Financial Implications If the City Council would like final design completed for both 24-foot and 26-foot street widths along Valentine Avenue, this will result in additional design costs; the scope of the proj ect included final design for one alternative only. WSB & Associates has provided a cost of $9,400 to complete an alternative design with a 26-foot street width.
