<br />STREETS. ROADS. AND TRAFFIC CONTROL FACILITIES <br /> <br />A. INTRODUCTION <br /> <br />The City ofCenterville's construction of its street and road system is shown by <br />Exhibit 4. The 1987 street reconstruction project dramatically demonstrated the <br />need to reconstruct high quality streets of adequate load bearing capacity. <br /> <br />An extrapolation to ultimate development conditions suggests that the City's <br />street system will expand from an existing network of 16 miles to a developed <br />system of 20 miles of 7 and 9 ton streets. <br /> <br />B. CURRENT STATUS OF FACILITIES <br /> <br />OfCenterville's 16 miles oflocal street system, 12 miles have been constructed <br />since 1986. These streets are in generally good condition and require application <br />of a thorough maintenance and preservation plan. Local streets constructed <br />before 1985 show signs of distress, under-design, or poor maintenance. In the <br />next 5-10 years, the City should expect to undertake a major reconstruction' <br />project on such streets as LaMotte Trail, Heritage, Progress, Shad, Mound, Sorel, <br />Goiffon, Center Street, and Peltier Lake Drive. Enforcement of 3-ton axle weight <br />restrictions in the interim should help postpone this project. <br /> <br />The City maintains one gravel roadway which it shares with the City ofLino <br />Lakes. This roadway provides access to the City's industrial park and should be <br />upgraded as shown in the CIP. <br /> <br />In 1993, the City developed a Comprehensive Park and Trail Plan. The Parks and <br />Recreation Committee is currently updating this plan and its anticipated <br />completion is Spring of 2004. <br /> <br />C. STREET MAINTENANCE <br /> <br />The expansive, poorly drained subsoils in Centerville require streets to be more <br />heavily designed and need more attentive maintenance than is typical. An <br />important factor in this effort is sealing of the road base from water seepage. An <br />appropriate roadbed maintenance schedule for a ~ewly constructed street in <br />Centetville is as follows: <br /> <br />Action <br /> <br />Schedule <br /> <br /> <br />Crack inspection and maintenance <br />Crack filling <br />Street sweeping <br />. .
