Cedar Hills inventories its roads December 2, 2017, 1:11 pmThe city recently contracted with iWorQ Systems Inc. to update their pavement management process. They presented their report to the city council on Oct. 17. Local governments are required by law to maintain an inventory of their street network. The total miles of asphalt streets inventoried in Cedar Hills was 27.65 total miles. The study calculated it would cost about $24 million to replace them all at today's prices. According to the report, the street network in Cedar Hills "is in ok condition and is well managed." The average Remaining Service Life (RSL) for the entire Cedar Hills City street network is 10.76 years, although 43.4 percent of streets have a 12-year RSL. The report recommends that the city add at least add a 1-2-inch overlay or totally replace 8.7 percent of the streets that have less than six years of life remaining. It also suggests the city focuses its road budget on preventative maintenance and rehabilitation and chip seal every street that has an RSL of 6 to 12 over the next five years.
