I � <br /> � <br /> � <br /> i <br /> I t Residents/City Df,�cia�ls Expectaxions <br /> ; Local streets were constructed to serve the property that abuts them. They were fully financed by <br /> i -, <br /> � � developers when they were first constructed or were constructed as part of a urility improvement <br /> I � project, which was assessed to abutting properties. As streets deteriorate through time, residents <br /> � should accept some of the financial responsibility for maintaining the street that abuts their property. <br /> � Therefore, many communities will assess a portion of the overall cost of overlay and reconstruction <br /> � type projects. When residents are asked and expected to accept assessments for street improvement <br /> projects, City officials must have a proven and effective program to present. However, satisfying <br /> �,, r each resident's expectations is difficult. Questions raised by concerned residents include: <br /> � <br /> � • Is my street really in need of repair at this time? <br /> � � Is the proposed method of repair the best possible alternative? <br /> • Is the proposed assessment fair and consistent with what other residents will be expected to <br /> � pay in the future? <br /> i� If those questions can be answered by City officials, residents will hopefully accept street <br /> improvement projects. However, it should be noted the answers to these questions will be <br /> � interpreted differently, depending on what is important to each resident. Therefore, ali types of <br /> rehabilitation programs must be considered by the City to satisfy what they believe wil] be the best <br /> � solution. <br /> �� Listed below are a few street rehabilitation programs that can be cunsidered reasonable options. <br /> '! • Continue to crack seal; patch and seal coat streets indefinitely until total reconstruction is <br /> , �' required. <br /> I • Construct timely overlay projects to extend the usefullife of a street. <br /> � • Elect not ta seal coat and patch certain streets near the end of their expe�ted life, knowing <br /> ' street reconstruction is required in the neaz future. <br /> � � <br /> I j � <br /> I i Centerville Pavement Management Study , 11 <br /> .. <br />
