c‘4, j; 2)&414 cam 515 Little Canada Road, Little Canada, MN 55117-1600 (651) 484 -2177 / FAX: (651) 484 -4538 MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor Fahey & Members of the City Council FROM: Joel Hanson, City Administrator DATE: September 4, 1998 RE: 1999 Improvement Program MAYOR Michael 1. Fahey COUNCIL Beverly Scalze Jim LaValle Steve Morelan Bob Pedersen ADMINISTRATOR Joel R. Hanson The Council needs to call for feasibility reports on the following improvements for our 1999 construction season: Pavement Management Rating • East Brooks Avenue (Morrison to Savage) 1 • Australian Avenue (Lakeshore to termination at west end) 32 • Bluwood Avenue (Lakeshore to termination at west end) 32 • Minnesota Avenue (Rice Street to Cobblestone Development) 32 • Viking Drive (McMenemy to Edgerton) watermain & street Not rated Improvements (in terrible shape) The process proposed by our new City Engineer is that we would do preliminary work on the feasibility reports, have the neighborhood meeting with the affected residents and then finalize reports for presentation to the City Council. All of these improvements were contemplated as part of our projected infrastructure improvement budget. It should also be noted that some of these streets have already had feasibility reports done and they would just need minor updates. Relative to the pavement management rating indicated in the above column, a rating of 0 to 60 indicates candidates for reconstruction. It is my opinion that we can squeeze some additional life out of those above 40 (likely to be programmed in 2001). Streets with a rating of 90 or above require no maintenance. (A score of 100 is the top of the scale.) It should also be noted that the streets proposed are the worst rated streets within the program within our jurisdiction and under our control. Page 59
