He noted that the first year was <br /> just a trial, doing one section of a street. He commented that staff has been completing <br /> observations and taking photos to document the progress. <br /> Councilmember Musgrove asked how long other cities have been using rejuvenation and whether <br /> there has been benefit shown. <br /> City Engineer Westby replied that Saint Michael has been using rejuvenation for at least eight <br /> years and noted that many other cities have joined in using that improvement. He stated that the <br /> goal is to apply it on newer streets to prevent deterioration, though some cities have recently been <br /> applying it to older streets as pilot projects. <br /> Councilmember Musgrove stated that she would agree that the funding should be increased. <br /> Chairperson Riley agreed, as long as it makes sense. <br /> City Engineer Westby commented that staff is still tracking the improvements that other cities are <br /> using for roads and will continue to do so. <br /> Public Works Committee/ March 15, 2022 <br /> Page 5 of 9 <br />
