Project Prioritization <br />Selecting streets or street segments is done through a process involving analysis, tests, and <br />staff experience. Eugene has a street inventory of approximately 1,343 lane miles. Using <br />information collected by pavement raters, a computer model forecasts pavement life and <br />trends. Combining this information with estimated revenues allows staff to estimate backlogs <br />and group potential street segments for Pavement Preservation Program (PPP) projects. To <br />verify street segment ratings, the Maintenance Division forwards potential project segments <br />to the Engineering Division who coordinates field testing. <br />Streets are not prioritized on a "worst first" basis. One of the main reasons for this is the <br />limited funds available to address Eugene’s street repair backlog. Public Works’ main <br />objective is to keep street segments from slipping into the reconstruction category, which <br />typically costs four to five times more per lane mile than rehabilitation. By rehabilitating <br />(overlaying) a street before it significantly deteriorates, 15 to 20 years of useful life can be <br />added to a street at a substantial cost savings over reconstruction. By the same token, once a <br />street has deteriorated to the point that it must be reconstructed, the opportunity for preventive <br />street maintenance (overlay) is lost. For these reasons, streets that are categorized as overlay <br />projects receive the highest priority for corrective treatment. If at some point in the future <br />there are additional funds available, or if the majority of overlay projects have been <br />addressed, reconstruction projects will be scheduled <br />. <br />The following is a list of scheduled projects for 2008. <br />Overlays <br />Lane <br />NameFrom Limit To Limit MilesMiles <br />1.544.41 <br />BROADWAY/MILL/HWY99ES 11TH AVE ES HIGH <br />0.160.58 <br />13TH AVE SS FRANKLIN BLVD ES AGATE <br />0.671.81 <br />27TH AVE WS AMAZON PARKWAY ES JEFFERSON <br />1.053.49 <br />BARGER DR WS HWY 99 ES TERRY <br />2.789.74 <br />ROOSEVELT BLVD 106' W CHAMBERS ES BELTLINE <br />0.883.01 <br />CHAD DR EAST END ES COBURG RD <br />0.804.46 <br />CHAMBERSSS RAILROAD BLVD NS 8TH AVE <br />Total7.8827.50 <br />12 <br />
