B. Ranking /Rating for Residential Street Improvements
As information only, a brief background and history were provided for Committee discussion on the
City's Residential Street Rating Program. This was a planned follow -up from a budget work session in
which Councilmembers expressed a desire to have an annual program for prioritizing and considering
residential improvements such as streets and sidewalks as currently exists for the Annual Overlay and
Repair Program and the Annual Small Drainage Program.
After discussion and review, the Committee requested the full document entitled "Pedestrian
Improvements by Formula A Process," that was used for residential street rating, be distributed to each
Committee Member. As well, they suggested that the detail on the Residential Improvements CIP page
reflect information on projects that are residential in nature but have been moved or incorporated into
larger projects in order to accurate reflected improvements being made. Overall, Committtee Members
were concerned that the street improvements rating list required updating, but would like this item to
come back to the Committee for additional discussion after there has been an opportunity to review the
residential street rating study. The Committee would also like to see a detailed list of what is include in
residential improvements (i.e.: curb, gutter, sidewalks, etc.) as well as an estimated cost per linear foot for
such impovements. Committee Members agreed, with no dissent, that 53� Avenue South is the highest
residential street priority. INFORMATION ONLY. RETURN TO COMMITTEE AT A LATER
DATE FOR ADDITIONAL DISCUSSION.
