CITY OF ST. ANTHONY <br /> ROAD RECONSTRUCTION TASK FORCE <br /> FINAL REPORT <br /> The Road Reconstruction Task Force (RRTF) was created by the City Council to make <br /> recommendations on improvements to the aging infrastructure and roads in St. Anthony. <br /> The RRTF has examined funding alternatives, reviewed the assessment policy, and made <br /> recommendations for change. The RRTF also made suggestions for a plan to educate <br /> residents on the needs of the repairs. <br /> The RRTF began on February 26, 1990.

However, to better facilitate the process, the Task Force <br /> recommended to the City Council that an engineer be hired to evaluate the condition of <br /> the roads. The Pavement Management Program was completed in February of 1992 and <br /> the Task Force reviewed the 10 year plan and confirmed the recommendations by Braun. <br /> The Pavement Management Program has provided the City with a method of doing <br /> ongoing evaluations of all the streets in the City. Braun has provided the first proposed <br /> ten years of improvements, which will be reviewed annually. <br /> RECOMMENDATION: <br /> To adopt the Pavement Management Study and move forward with the first year <br /> of improvements beginning in 1993. <br /> WATER <br /> The City should examine the need to replace watermains when the streets are replaced. <br /> A flow test should be.taken on each street replacement project to determine if there is <br />
