2.0 METHODOLOGY 2.1 INVENTORY All streets within the City are categorized as either arterial or local streets and are grouped as such into their respective networks; collectively they comprise the entire pavement network. Within each network, the streets are ranked based on their functional classifications (refer to Section 3.0 Pavement Network) and are assigned a letter that corresponds with the rank. In the case of the arterial network, the letter 'B' is assigned to major arterial streets, the letter 'P' is assigned to primary arterial streets, the letter'S' is assigned to secondary arterial streets. These streets are considered "Arterial" functional classification within StreetSaver. The letter 'C' is assigned to collector arterial streets which is considered "Collector" functional classification in StreetSaver. In the case of the local network, the letters 'E' and 'I' are assigned to residential and non-residential streets, respectively, both of which fall within "Residential/Local" functional classification umbrella in StreetSaver. StreetSaver functional classes follow the guideline as shown in the Federal Highway Administration's (FHWA) "Functional Classification Concepts, Criteria and Procedures" 2013 edition. Each street, or branch, is divided into segments, or sections, at intersecting streets and railroads. For example, Main Street from First Street to Second Street and Grand Avenue from Railroad to Chestnut Avenue. Additionally, a section break is introduced where a change in pavement surface is encountered mid -block. For example, if the pavement surface were to change from Asphalt Concrete (AC) to Portland Cement Concrete (PCC) at any point along Main Street from First Street to Second Street, then the resulting sections would be Main Street from First Street to AC -PCC Transition and Main Street from AC -PCC Transition to Second Street; where one section has an AC surface and the other has a PCC surface. In an effort to help identify and sort the streets efficiently, identifying numbers are assigned to each branch and section. A Branch ID is a six digit number assigned to each branch and is numbered increasingly with numbered streets listed first followed by the remainder of the streets listed in alphabetical order. A Section ID is a four digit number assigned to each section and is numbered increasingly based on geography from west to east and from south to north. For example, the westernmost or southernmost section of a branch would have a Section ID with the lowest number and the easternmost or northernmost section of a branch would have a Section ID with the highest number. Furthermore, the four -digit Section ID number may be followed by a letter such as N, S, E, or W that denotes the direction of travel (north, south, east, and west, respectively) along a street. This letter is used to differentiate between the two halves of a street when it is divided as such. For example, Section ID 1100N and Section ID 1100S would denote the northbound and southbound sides of a section, respectively. Additionally, other sort features are available to assist in further grouping segments with similar characteristics. For example, to identify streets within pre -defined geographical areas, each section is labeled with a number that corresponds to either a neighborhood or a non - neighborhood area. A neighborhood area, which is typically comprised of churches, schools, and residential properties, is defined as the boundary established through a collaboration of the City of Santa Ana 2018 Pavement Management Program 2-1 55B-14
