The City of Arden Hills has made a commjtment to its residents to provide a systematic program of street rehabilitation and repair in order to assure that the City streets are serviceable, safe, functional, and provided at a reasonable cost to meet the needs of our residents and the traveling public. The City of Arden Hills Pavement Management Program strives to expend tax payer funds in a cost effective manner in order to ensure the most value for residents. DISCUSSION PMP Implementation Plan The purpose of a pavement management program is to provide and enable the planned repair and improvement of streets in a way that: · maintains the condition of good quality streets for as long as possible, · prevents streets from deteriorating from one level of necessary maintenance to another for as long as possible, particularly deteriorating to the point of needing full reconstruction, and · schedules repair and improvement activities, particularly the reconstruction projects, in a way that matches, as well as possible, the City's funding capabilities. \\Metro-inet.us\ardenhills\Admin\Council\Agendas & Packet Information\2009\03-16-09 Worksession\Packet Information\3-16-09 Memo CIP- PMP .doc - -
