As funding is available, this program rehabilitates arterial streets where the restoration requirements are beyond that which can be accomplished through the annual Street Overlay Program (TIP#1). Installation of Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliant curb ramps has been incorporated into the annual Arterial Rehabilitation and Overlay programs based on new federal requirements.
The Street Overlay Program typically concentrates on maintenance of residential streets, whereas the Arterial Rehabilitation Program places emphasis on repairing arterial streets. Arterial streets can often deteriorate rather quickly and often require more costly rehabilitation measures and/or costly temporary repairs to avoid more extensive deterioration. This program is managed by the Maintenance Services Division.
The Renton City Council desires an Overall Combined Index (OCI) for Renton street surfaces of 80 or greater. Currently, the OCI is 70.
