• Plowing: When there is an accumulation of two inches or more of snow it will be removed within 24 hrs. • Ice control: apply ice control when ice or snow adheres to the pathway. • Sweeping: Sweep three times annually, spring, summer and fall, or when safety is of concern. • Sealing/ Patching: Fill cracks or holes as they occur. On -Road pathways located on County Roads are maintained by Ramsey County. Trail Management Program Since 1999 the Public Works Department has had the responsibility to implement a long term reconstruction and major maintenance program. The Trails Management Program (TMP) is modeled after the Pavement Management Program and consists of. Inspection/Evaluation, Maintenance, Sequential Planning and Financial Planning. The TMP utilizes state of the art pavement tools to help identify and prioritize pathway maintenance and rehabilitation. All of the pathways are broken down into segments that are surveyed approximately every 5 years and actual pavement distresses are measured and entered into a computer database. The measured distresses are used to determine the pavement condition index (PCI). The PCI is a numerical rating between 100, a new pavement, and 0, a completely failed pavement. This methodology was originally developed by the US Army Corps of Engineers and later revised by the Minnesota Local Road Research Board. It has become a standard method to evaluate pavement condition. A computer program that utilizes pavement research findings to predict the degradation of pavement with time then analyzes the pathway data. The rate of degradation has been calibrated to match our actual experience. In addition, the program allows us to model different maintenance strategies to gauge their impact on the overall system and budget. The program is quite flexible and allows us complete discretion in choosing the most appropriate maintenance technique. The overall PCI of pathways in Roseville is reasonably good, XX for bituminous and XX for concrete. This has increased by XX points for bituminous and XX points for concrete since implementing the TMP. City of Roseville Pathway Master Plan Final Review Draft August 2008 Page 14 of 31
