INTRODUCTION This report is an engineering feasibility study for proposed Improvement Project 14 -1, 2014 Street Rehabilitation. STREET REHABILITATION The streets included in the street rehabilitation portion of this proposed project are: Lake Diane Court - 29th Avenue NW to Cul -de -sac 23rd Avenue NW - 14th Street NW to 17th Street NW The location of these streets is shown on the Project Map on Page 1 of this report. The total length of all the streets included in this project is approximately 0.47 miles. Each street in the 2014 project corridor is a low- speed, low- volume, 32 -foot wide residential street. Streets in this project area all have existing S412 concrete curb and gutter. Historically, the City's approach to street rehabilitation has been to totally rehabilitate the pavement section and remove and replace damaged or settled sections of concrete curbing when the road is approximately 25 -30 years old, and to rehabilitate on a neighborhood basis keeping the cost down and minimizing the disruption to the area. We are recommending the rehabilitation of these streets due to their age and poor condition. The existing surface is extensively cracked and bumpy from traffic, weather, and years of patching. Our records show that 23rd Avenue NW was last rehabilitated in 1983, with a mill and overlay in 1994. Lake Diane Court was first constructed in 1984. Complaints about the condition of these streets and the amount of maintenance required to maintain a satisfactory level of service have increased in recent years. The need to rehabilitate these streets is identified in the City's Capital Improvement Plan for rehabilitation in 2014. An important step in the public improvement process and in the preparation of the feasibility study is to hold an informal informational meeting with the residents in the area. The meeting provides general information to residents regarding the street rehabilitation process and enables staff to receive feedback from the residents regarding any specific concerns. The informational meeting for proposed Project 14 -1 was held at 6:30 p.m. on Wednesday, February 12, 2014 at City Hall. A copy of the meeting notice, sign -in sheet, and attendance map are included in Appendix A of this report. Eighteen residents representing sixteen properties attended the meeting, and several phone inquiries were received as a result of the meeting notice mailed on January 28, 2014. After a staff presentation of the proposed project, time was spent answering questions and addressing individual concerns. It was explained to residents that the construction of this project will result in some disruption to the area; however, residents will have access to their property nearly all of the time. There will be construction noise, traffic, dust, and mud. We will keep residents informed of construction activities and schedules, and do everything reasonably possible to minimize the inconvenience. Oil
