- 3 - candidates for crack sealing and seal coating as preventative maintenance. Streets with a rating in the range of 91 to 100 would require no maintenance. II. SCOPE The purpose of this study is to determine the feasibility of improving the three areas mentioned above, along with any utility improvements and/or repair that may be needed prior to their proposed improvement. This report will include information on the existing conditions, proposed improvements, and estimated costs and property assessments as outlined in the City’s Assessment Manual. Estimated construction costs will be provided, along with the total project costs that will include overhead costs, such as City administration, engineering, fiscal, and legal costs. III. HISTORY The streets proposed for improvement have received normal on-going maintenance from the City’s Public Works Staff, but are at a point that they require more extensive maintenance. Park View Court was originally constructed in 2001 as part of the townhome development. Jackson/Old C/Lake Shore was last improved in 1993 by reconstruction to an urban section with concrete curb and gutter. The last time significant improvements were done on Burke Lane and the section of Condit Street proposed as part of this project was in the late 1970’s. IV. NECESSITY AND COST-EFFECTIVENESS The two streets proposed for mill and overlay are within the range of 60 to 80, the rating that justifies rehabilitation. The proposed improvements will protect the street base from water infiltration and further deterioration minimizing future maintenance costs. The streets proposed for reconstruction are below 60, the rating that justifies reconstruction. The street improvements are necessary to provide the residents of these areas with a safe and adequate public transportation system, and the magnitude of the proposed project will ensure competitive bidding. From this standpoint, the project is cost- effective. V. EXISTING CONDITIONS A. JACKSON/OLD C/LAKE SHORE Jackson/Old C/Lakeshore runs north from Demont Avenue to the intersection of Little Canada Road and County Road C and is approximately 3,100 feet long. The street has an urban section with concrete curb and gutter, 12 foot thru lanes, and 4 foot shoulders. This roadway has a stop condition at Demont Avenue, a three way stop at the intersection with Lake Street and an all way stop at the intersection with County Road C and Little Canada Road. The street suffers from delamination of the chip seal and top surface of bituminous, alligator cracking, and rutting in areas. Sanitary sewer and water service are provided to all properties along the street. At the informational meeting there were concerns expressed regarding the speed of travel and the frequency of vehicles ignoring the stop condition at Lake Street.
