~SBVfbbE S. Owasso Boulevard Reconstruction The City uses a Pavemeut Mauagement Program to help determine when a street should be reconstructed. A numerical rating between 0 and 100 is calculated by computer software for each block of street. This rating is based on the amount of cracking, number of potholes, patches, etc. that are on the surface. Streets that have a rating between 0 and 35 are in the "problem" category. Streets that have a rating between 36 and 65 are in the "marginal" category. Streets that have a rating between 66 and 100 are in the "adequate' category. In the fall of 1986, the City Council detennined that all of the streets in the "problem" category would be reconstructed. Each fall the Council chooses streets to be reconstructed the following year. Example of a "problem" street The City Conncil initiates the majority of streets reconstructed under the City's Pavement Management Program. Each year, the City Council selects the streets to be considered for reconstruction for the following year. In preparation for this project, the engineering staff spent last fall collecting preliminary survey data. Over the next year, we will hold a series of information meetings to discuss the proposed project with affected neighbors. In addition to working on preliminary plans, the staff will prepare a feasibility study that will be presented to the City Council at a public hearing in July 2005. All owners of property affected by the construction will receive a formal notice of this hearing. At the hearing, the findings of the feasibility study will be reviewed, and residents will have an opportunity to express their opinions about the proposed project to the City Council. Following the public hearing, the City Council will vote on whether to approve the project. If approved, staff will prepare construction documents in anticipation of construction during the following summer.
