RE IDE TIAL TREET PAVIN
May 26, 1994
Back round The Residential S reet Pavin Pro ram be an in 1986 as an ad'unct
g 9 9 g 1
to the sewer sepa ation program. City Council resolution established
a 20-year street paving program that would pave oiled streets,
provide curbs, mprove lighting (lantern) and plant trees.
Approximately 16 miles of streets are being paved each year with the
sewer separati n program. The city's Program for Capital
Improvement curr ntly schedules residential paving at a level of $9.7
million in 1996 an $10.0 million from 1997 to 2001.
In 1972, Public orks prepared a plan for a twenty-year paving
program. Their plan included a 1965 Minneapolis survey. Of
seventeen cities only Minneapolis and Seattle had a higher
� percentages of u paved streets thirty years ago than Saint Paul still
has today (see at ached). Minneapolis recently completed its twenty
year paving prog am and no longer has any oiled streets. Public
Works is currentl compiling comparable information from Twin Cities'
suburbs.
Need: Saint Paul has 8 I O miles of streets, of which 500 are residential. At
the completion o CSSP, 180 miles of oiled streets will remain, in
addition to 40 mi es of "old" (40-50 year-old) paved streets. Paved
streets have a lif of about 50 years. Even if 180 miles were left
unpaved, an ave age of 6 miles of streets would require re-paving
each year just to eep up with maintenance.
Most oiled street are 70-100 years old. Originally, these dirt streets
were simply gra d. Maintenance consisted of spraying them with
water to keep th dust down. About 65 years ago, the city began
coating them wit oil and sand every year. Over the years, these
layers of oil and s nd built up so that the streets resemble asphalt.
� Oiling penetrates the surface of the streets seals cracks and keeps
them pliable and aterproof. Today, the streets are oiled every third
year to minimize eighborhood complaints about the order and mess
associated with iling. The city also switched to a product which
does not pertorm as well to address environmental concerns. This
newer product c ts rather than penetrates the street surface and as
a result, the stree s are more susceptible to deterioration.
Residential Street Paving
May 26, 1994
Page 2
Without a proper sub-base, oiled streets are prone to rolling and
� heaving. Oiled streets suffer more from cracking and potholes than
paved streets. In 1993, Public Works received 2,766 complaints
regarding potholes. Oiled streets received 5.03 complaints per mile;
paved streets 1.87 complaints per mile.
Roughly 80-90% of the city's oiled streets are without curbs, an
increasing source of complaints due to eroding boulevards. This, in
conjunction with the built up street crown, reduces the quality and
cost-effectiveness of street maintenance. Street sweeping is as much
as 25% slower on an oiled street compared to a paved street. The
surtace of oiled streets is rougher, and without curbs there is no clear
edge for sweeping. Sweepers dig into the boulevard and kick up dirt.
Dirt collects in low spots in the street and cannot be swept clean. In
the winter, snow plow drivers use curbs as plowing guidelines.
Without curbs, boulevards get torn up and carriage walks, catch
basins and mailbox posts are often damaged. Streets are not plowed
as cleanly because of the irregular street crown. While Public Works
does not record plowing and sweeping complaints by type of street,
there is consensus that most complaints pertain to oiled streets.
Benefits: As described above, residents on paved streets enjoy a higher quality
of street maintenance than do residents on oiled streets. But the real
benefits of street paving far outpace a maintenance perspective. The
paving program adds greatly to the quality of life in our
neighborhoods.
Safety: New lighting improves the feeling of safety and security in
the neighborhood. But above and beyond, the entire physical
appearance of the neighborhood is uplifted, giving residents a new
sense of pride and ownership over their neighborhoods. This is key
to deterring crimes and maintaining control over disorder and
vandalism.
Economic Development: Residents often respond to their new
physical surroundings by making improvements on their property--
from fencing, painting and landscaping to major renovations and
repairs. A strong residential base is the key to prosperous small
businesses, both in proviuing a customer base and in increasing the
� pool of potential owners of small businesses. A program such as this
that attracts and retains homeowners is vital to Saint Paul's tax base.

Promoting Sai t Paul: During the first eight years, sewer
separation has o erwhelmed both the programming and promoting of
this program. W hout the location of sewers as a driving force, the
City is at liberty t develop this program as a visible commitment to
revitalization of o r neighborhoods. It might be enhanced with a�ny
array of servic s--for example, around the Mayor's idea of
neighborhood m Iti-service centers or by supporting homeowner
� investment in thei properties.
Environmental Effective stormwater control requires paved and
finished streets, c rbs and catch basins throughout the city. Less dirt,
silt and lawn fe ilizer from eroded boulevards will be carried in
rainwater to the ver and city lakes. Streets can be swept cleaner,
reducing the qua tities of sand and leaves that reach the river and
our lakes. �
Cost/ The total cost of aving, including lighting and trees is approximately
Financina: $660,000 per mi e. CIB (general fund) bonds provide 75% of the -
paving cost and 70% of the lighting cost. Presently programmed, '
paving constitut about one-half of the annual CIB bond budget.
Residents are a sessed for the remainder of these costs. The
assessment to a omeowner with 40 feet of streetn frontage, would
be about $1,300� The Water Department and tree planting funds
provide some ad itional funding.
Program To achieve great st efficiency in the program, the amount of paving
Parame�ters: done each yea shou�d be relatively consistent (either level or
gradual changes . Otherwise, Public Works is forced to hire and lay
off staff to meet th differing needs each year. Second, to achieve the
lowest constructi bids, areas rather than individual scattered streets
should be paved. �
As for effectivene s of the program, paving should be programmed in
a citywide effo recognizing the value of this program to our
neighborhoods. epartment heads, the Planning Commission, the
CIB Committee nd District Councils are all potential actors in
determining ho best to prioritize areas to maximize the City's
economic develo ment and public safety goals.

There is concern for residents who may not wish to bear the costs of
paving. A strong "opt out" program should be adopted as part of any
paving program.
Impact Each mile of paving affects roughly 175 households. Informal
(Who conversations with community organizations, and former �CIB chair
Cares?) (current Planning Commission chair) suggest that this is a highly
popular program with residents who expect paving to occur within
some "reasonable" time frame (i.e., fifteen years is too long). Twenty
to thirty residents attending Public Works' open house on May 17
inquired about when their streets would be paved. These
conversations suggest that paving is viewed as the one tangible
payback residents receive for their contribution of taxes year after
year. Many residents have patiently awaited "their turn" for street
paving. The enhancement of the streetscape signals to residents that
the city is serious about its commitment to improving the vitality of
� neighborhoods.
Public Works is currently developing survey instruments in order to
gauge more accurately the value of a paving program to Saint Paul
residents.

COUNC�L PRESIDENT

FROM: Stacy Becker, Public Work �
SUBJ: Residential Paving rogram
DATE: October 18, 1994
We have attempted to revise the esidential Paving Program resolution according to
the amendments offered by Coun ilmember Rettman and the Council discussions
about lighting. A copy of the origi al and amendments of October 5 and 12 are
attached.
The amendments as highlighted e consistent with the program as proposed by
Public Works and supported by th CIB Committee and Mayor Coleman. The program
provides the following:
• street paving, curbs, tre s and lantern style lighting on the remaining 180
miles of oiled (non-pav ) streets;
• street paving, curbs an trees and lantern style lighting (where needed) on
40 miles of "old" paved treets. These streets are at or approaching their
forty to fifty year life spa . All paved streets must be repaved every forty to
fifty years; and
• lantern style lighting to place w ole lighting on any street not
reconstructed under the first two categories. There is no intention to replace
bent straw lighting unde this program. This "fill in" lighting is intended to
make available lantern yle lighting where wood poles now exist. The
additional cost to this lig ting is $3.7 million, of which 30% is assessed.
A citywide wall map of the streets o be repaved under this program has been
provided to you. The amendment larifying the program is worded so that if the
Council chooses not to upgrade t e wood pole lighting under this program, the phrase
"and lantern style lighting to repla e wood pole lighting on residential streets not
repaved under this program" may imply be deleted.

Public Works looks forward to w king with you on your review of the City's lighting
policy. The requests we receive r upgraded lighting are virtually impossible for us to
satisfy under the current lighting olicy, budgeting and administrative rules. With our
Citywide emphasis on safety and security, we are anxious to find ways of being more
responsive to our neighborhoods needs.
Please call if you have any quest ons about the attached resolution.
