STREET PRESERVATION PROGRAM OVERVIEW:
December 19, 2012 Update: Thanks to the infusion of $2.6 million/year to the Street Preservation Program from the 2012 Street Levy, the number of lane miles to be overlayed and slurry sealed has doubled each year.
The City of Kirkland Public Works Department is responsible for managing approximately 593 lane miles of roadway (street network). In addition to the day to day maintenance activities performed by the City Street Division, the Street Preservation Program ensures maintenance of Kirkland's streets by reducing costly repairs resulting from road failure. This is an annual program, funded through the City’s Capital Improvement Program.
How streets are ranked: A systematic Pavement Management System (PMS) is used to manage and prioritize street improvements.
What techniques are used: A variety of preservation techniques from crack sealing and structural patching to street overlays and road reconstruction is used to maintain the City’s street network. The following two primary street preservation techniques are used most in Kirkland.
OVERLAY PROGRAM:
