Keeping alleys well -maintained raises the overall quality of living, provides safe <br />pedestrian access, and protects the substantial investment already made in our alley infrastructure. <br />Poorly maintained alleys, on the other hand, lead to higher vehicle maintenance costs and incur <br />exponentially higher future maintenance costs. <br />The City utilizes StreetSaver and a geographical information system to develop the Pavement <br />Management Program (PMP) which provides an accurate inventory of the past, current, and <br />projected pavement condition of the City's public roadways, including alleys. StreetSaver is utilized <br />to implement the roadway and alley maintenance and rehabilitation program, to maximize the <br />return from available, existing funding for street and alley pavement. <br />The City currently manages 27.4 centerline miles of alleys for a total of approximately 2.5 million <br />square feet of paved surfaces. To assist in planning and maintenance needs, alleys are also <br />arranged into over 350 sections and classified by surface types — Asphalt Concrete or Portland <br />Cement Concrete, as detailed in the 2020 Pavement Management Program report for Alleys <br />(Exhibit 1). <br />The competitive grant programs from federal, state, county, and Metropolitan Planning <br />Organizations have limited funding for alleys. With an annual budget of approximately $150,000 <br />for pavement improvements, the overall pavement condition of the City alley network is poor with <br />a Pavement Condition Index (PCI) of rating of 45.9 out of 100. The PCI is a numerical value <br />ranging from zero for deteriorated pavement with virtually no remaining life to 100 for new or <br />recently rehabilitated pavement. <br />19C-1 <br />
