<br />Observations: <br /> <br />In the 2007 program 4.4 miles of rural streets are scheduled to receive a bituminous <br />overlay adjacent to 149 properties. Staff feels that the use of Class 2 material provides a <br />superior shouldering material when compared to the use of topsoil. It is especially <br />valuable at intersection radii where shoulders are particularly difficult to maintain with <br />the use of lighter topsoil. However, complaints regarding the use of this material can be <br />anticipated. Staff feels that the number of complaints relative to the number of properties <br />impacted will be small based upon experience with previous programs, and that <br />addressing the complaints in the manner ofthe 2005 and 2006 programs will be no more <br />of an effort than replacing the washed topsoil as has been done in the past. <br /> <br />Recommendations: <br /> <br />Staff recommends the use of Class 2 material for shouldering for the 2007 Street <br />Maintenance program and that a record of complaints and time spent in addressing them <br />be submitted to the Committee prior to the 2008 program. <br /> <br />Action: <br /> <br />Motion to recommend to City Council that Class 2 material be used for shouldering in the <br />2007 Street Maintenance program, and that a record of complaints and time spent in <br />addressing them be submitted to the Committee prior to the 2008 program <br /> <br />Reviewed By: <br />Public Works Director/Principal Engineer <br />Street Supervisor <br />Engineering Technician IV <br /> <br />PW: 05/15/07 <br /> <br />-168- <br />
