AGENDA STATEMENT
Item No.
For Meeting of: April 19, 2011
ITEM TITLE: A Report Addressing Arlington Pavement Condition Concern
SUBMITTED BY: Chris Waarvick, Director of Public Works
Joe Rosenlund, Streets & Traffic Operations Manager
CONTACT PERSON/TELEPHONE: Joe Rosenlund /576 -6430
SUMMARY EXPLANATION:
Sandy Massong - Lloyd, a Tancara resident on Arlington Avenue adjacent to the Congdon
Orchard property, appeared before the City Council on March 15, 2011 to express concerns
over the condition and drivability of Arlington Avenue.
This roadway is only a partial width street and was built as part of the Tancara housing
development in the late 1970's. The roadway surface is deteriorating and has been the focus
of much maintenance over the last 5 years. In spite of this attention, the deterioration
continues and by most observations is due to a roadway ballast (gravel base) inadequate to
the seasonally high ground water table.
Mayor Micah Cawley, Street Manager Joe • Rosenlund and Ms. Massong -Lloyd met last
Wednesday April 6, 2011 to discuss her concerns. Joe Rosenlund presented his initial
findings and an estimate to repair the 3,000 feet of roadway. The cost to place a new asphalt
surface with adequate below -grade gravel ballast to accommodate the ground water is
approximately $325,000.
This price does not include street lights nor sidewalks. The work would be performed by a
private contractor through the standard bidding process.
The neighbors could participate in a road Local Improvement District (LID) with the City
fronting the project cost and engineering expenses. The residents in the LID area would pay
back the cost of the project over time. Alternatively, the City could alter the LID concept
through participating in the project by buying down the principal if and when voted street bond
funds become available. Ms. Lloyd was interested in Congdon participating in any such
improvement to the roadway. Mayor Cawley agreed to contact Congdon and inquire about
their interest in the LID.
