At that time, thirty two (32) feet was staff' s recommended width <br /> of residential streets . There was some question of the additional expense <br /> of a 32 foot street, compared to many of the existing 27 to 28 foot <br /> streets . Calculations were obtained for both the pavement expense and <br /> additional impervious surface created by widening the street section. These <br /> expenses and areas are listed below: <br /> Impervious <br /> Street Width Cost / LF Surface Area / LF <br /> 28 feet $24 . 75 29 square feet <br /> 30 feet $25 . 93 31 square feet <br /> 32 feet $27 . 11 33 square feet <br /> These measurements are all face of curb to face or curb. <br /> It should be noted that the street reconstruction process will consider <br /> proper surface water drainage issues, and designed accordingly. Staff has <br /> included in this report, the State Aid standards for residential road <br /> design. Although many of the City' s streets are not classified MSA streets, <br /> this design does fit the use of the streets. Also included is a letter from <br /> Glen Van Wormer, P.E. of SEH' s Transportation Department, further <br /> explaining staff' s request for the 32 foot design width. <br /> Staff has been performing the ratings for the Pavement Management System <br /> this spring, and based on these ratings, a five year capital improvement <br /> plan will be tabulated. Street width will determine the forecasted capital <br /> expenses . It is important that a standard street width is adopted prior to <br /> formulation of the CIP. Staff is requesting council direction in this <br /> matter. <br /> Should you have any further questions regarding this subject, please feel <br /> free to cam . <br /> Mic ael Ulrich, Director of Public Works <br /> It ' 1 I'NI ATIQM <br />
