How are streets and treatments chosen?

Pavement Quality Index (PQI) rates street segments to narrow the list

Visual inspection

Street Maintenance experience

Pavement core samples

Traffic volume (including transit, freight, pedestrian and bicycle)

Coordinate needed pavement work with needed utility work

Citizen complaints

Allocate appropriate funding levels to maintenance, resurfacing and reconstruction

Leverage grants and other funding opportunities

Developments and TIDs

Pavement Condition Rating

Transportation Aids Distributions: Per State Statute, since 2001 each municipality
and county shall assess the physical condition of highways under its jurisdiction, using
a pavement rating system approved by the WISDOT. In 2015, $2,202 per mile in
mileage aid payment shall be available for each mile of road or street under the
jurisdiction of a municipality.

Stantec Consultant WISDOT approved pavement rating system

2013 2014 last survey

Data was delivered in Dec, 2014 will be analyzed to assist with ranking paving projects

Pavement Condition Ratings

Every seven years DPW obtains a condition rating for every street
segment in the City under the PMS (Pavement Management System)
and rates them on various pavement distresses such as:

Severity of cracking
Potholes
Joint failure
Rutting

Pavement Ratings
A PQI (Pavement Quality Index) is identified from the distresses on a
scale of 20 to 100 for the new Road Matrix system
100

is the best, brand new street

70-90 is Good
45-70 is Fair
20-45 is Poor

Preventative Maintenance Program Benefits

Most cost effective address issues when they first appear

More predictable funding needs

Fewer premature pavement failures

Safer road conditions

Reduces disruption to traffic

Require proper pavement restoration when issuing DPW permits
