I BACKGROUND 2 Staff is requesting the ordering of the preparation of a feasibility report for Roselawn Avenue as part of 3 the 2009 Pavement Management Program. This project is a continuation of our ongoing Pavement 4 Management Program. The City's Pavement Management Program (PMP), began in 1986. At that time, 5 the City was split into 73 neighborhoods, and a two-phase program was initiated. The first phase of the 6 program,, approximately the first 10 years, consisted primarily of street reconstruction. The second "7 phase of the program, which is ongoing, includes some reconstruction,, but focuses on major maintenance activities such as mill and overlays. The purpose of the two phase program was to quickly 9 reduce the number of problem streets within the City to a manageable level, less than 10% of the street I ('_) system, and to maintain that level by providing major maintenance. The first phase of PMP completed "I'll in 1997 was successful in achieving that goal. The second phase consists of 12 13 1 Reconstruction of streets not completed in the first phase of the program due to condition of the 14 Pavement at that time. 1 2. Incorporation of the Ramsey County turnback roads into the program. 16 3. Maintenance of existing permanent streets through milling and overlaying pavements and repair I 7 of settled or broken concrete curbs. I 4. Crack sealing and seal coating of existing pavements. 19 2 ('_) Staff is recommending that the 2009 program include the reconstruction of Roselawn Avenue between 2 1 Hamline Avenue and Victoria Street.

Work 22 on these projects will be accomplished with in-house engineering staff 23 24 To develop this project, City Staff will work with residents, the watershed district, State Aid, Ramsey 25 County, and private utilities to develop a design for this new road. Since a portion of the project is 26 proposed to be assessed, we need to follow the Chapter 4�29 process. This information will be 27 incorporated into a feasibility report that will be presented to the Council in early January. Public 2, hearings regarding this project could be held in early February. 29 POLICY OBJECTIVE 3o 2009 will be the twelfth year of phase two of the Pavement Management Program.
