Howard R. Green Company <br />Project No. 802400J <br /> <br />Pavement Rehabilitation Report <br /> City of Elk River, Minnesota <br /> <br />Due to the relatively young age of the streets within the City and proactive street <br />maintenance efforts, the City of Elk River has not had a need for large-scale street <br />reconstruction projects in the past. However, the streets are continuing to deteriorate <br />with age. Seal coating and overlay projects are no longer adequate measures to <br />increase the pavement life of a number of streets within the City. Total street <br />reconstruction is the only cost-effective means of continuing the City's proactive street <br />efforts and ensuring an adequate means of transportation for the residents. In addition <br />to rehabilitating street pavement, a total street reconstruction will allow for correction of <br />existing drainage problems through the construction of concrete curb and gutter, <br />modifying street grades, and the installation of a storm sewer collection system where <br />needed. <br /> <br />In 1997, a survey of the streets within the old core City was completed <br />shows the streets that were determined to be in need of reconstruction. <br />showed severe signs of advanced pavement deterioration. <br /> <br />The streets <br /> <br />There are several signs that indicate pavement deterioration. They include: <br /> <br />Alligator Cracking - 2na Street Potholes - Upland Avenue <br />between York Avenue and Xenia <br />Avenue ,~. <br /> <br />Longitudinal Cracking - 4TM Street <br />and Quinn Avenue <br /> <br />-2- <br /> <br /> <br />
