2.0 EXISTING CONDITIONS 2.1 Street History The streets included in the Arkwright- Sunrise project are local streets providing a conveyance between neighborhood properties and higher volume collector streets such as County Road B or Edgerton Street. Local streets typically carry traffic volumes less than 1,000 vehicles per day and have speed limits of 30 mph or less. The majority of the project streets were originally constructed in the 1960's as water and sewer service was extended to the area. The project streets received pavement rehabilitation in the form of a 2 -inch bituminous overlay in 1987 as part of City Project 87 -26. The project streets were subsequently seal coated in 1999. Widths of existing streets vary and are irregular with respect to their lengths, which is expected for older bituminous streets with no existing concrete curb and gutter to support the edges. Table A summarizes the average widths of all existing streets within the scope of this study. The averages are based on new topographic data taken in the fall of 2012 and random measurements along each street length.
