PRESENTATION 4. DRAFT PAVEMENT MANAGEMENT PLAN David Martini stated work has been going on for the past several months to update the City’s pavement management plan. The plan was previously updated in 2011. The City Council had requested the plan be updated to reflect the current condition of the roads owned by the City and to determine the overall rehabilitation needs of the system and planning level cost estimates that can be used to plan for the future. Martini indicated the color-coded map on the overhead shows the existing conditions of the roads around town. The roads are further distinguished between low volume, collector, and municipal state aid. The proposed method of rehabilitation for each type of road starts with the assumption that the City’s roads can be improved within the footprint of the existing roadway. Work on low volume roads is proposed to be limited primarily to the pavement section, while collector roads and municipal state aid routes are proposed to include more work to the subgrade and areas beyond the pavement surface.
