How We Evaluate Streets 1) Pavement Management System Software (PMSS) • Qualitative method to develop a preventive maintenance program along with resurfacing and reconstruction. • Develops a Pavement Condition Index (PCI) of 1-100 (1=worst)
2) Field Verification • City staff visually inspects streets
3) Traffic Utilization • Collector streets vs. local streets
4) Coordination with Utilities
• Timing our repairs with planned utility street cuts and improvements.

How We Evaluate Streets (cont.) 5) Overall Cost It is less expensive to keep a road in good condition than it is to repair a deteriorated one.
6) Council Input

7) Citizen Input We use these prioritization factors to develop our yearly street maintenance programs. 7
Citizen Input • Citizen Communication with Staff – Telephone calls – Email correspondence
• Direct in the Field meetings • Council District Public Meetings • Public Forum – October 27, 2015 • City Web Survey / Social Media • 195 Responses 8
Input Results – Functional Use Miles total: 25.1 miles* Street segments: 105 Cost: $11.9 million Other Concerns 48.6% • Drainage • Traffic Control
23.8%
27.6%
Arterial Collector Local
*Not including State Highways/Streets 9
Insights Used to Confirm or Strengthen Program • Arterial and collector streets are a high priority. • Some priority streets from the public input were included in the program (e.g. Jahn St, North St, Ferry Ln, etc.). • Confirmation of community’s desire to address needs. • Resources (funding) to address community needs remains a challenge. 10
Moving Forward • Proposed street program for FY 2016 reflects community input and results from the new PMSS. • Proposed Citywide Bond program for FY 2016 & FY 2017 coordinates improvements with NBU on higher priority projects. • CIP program will be updated to identify streets requiring major improvements (currently listed and additions). • Utilize temporary maintenance strategies (e.g. blade level-up) until streets can be programmed.
• Plan may be adjusted based on yearly needs. 11
