The City is required to adopt a resolution specifying the allocation of State <br /> MFT funds to their intended projects. IDOT must receive an MFT appropriation before they will approve the expenditure of State <br /> MFT money. <br /> The City typically inspects half of the City streets each year and uses the results of those inspections to develop a 5-year plan of <br /> proposed pavement projects.The proposed 5-year plan map is attached to this memo. We are currently transitioning to a new <br /> annual inspection method,which will continue to mold our 5-year plan. <br /> 2023 Street Restoration Project,CP 2023-08 <br /> The first resolution appropriates$1,300,000 in State MFT funds for asphalt street work for the proposed 2023 Street Restoration <br /> project,City Project 2023-08. The Street Restoration project is part of the annual maintenance program that generally consists of <br /> milling off a portion of an existing asphalt street surface and placing new asphalt that restores the integrity of the street surface. <br /> The 2023-08 project will perform mill and overlay work on multiple streets and cold in-place recycling of North Taylor Avenue. <br /> Cold In-Place Recycling consists of cold milling and pulverizing the existing road;then mixing in emulsified asphalt,water,and <br /> additives with the recycled material; and spreading and compacting the mixture that then receives a new asphalt surface. <br /> The proposed street list for asphalt rehabilitation is as follows(see attached location map): <br /> Length Average <br /> Length Lane Daily Functional Design <br /> Street From To (E) ( TrafficClassification Treatment <br /> Miles) (ADT. <br /> FRANKLIN 8TH DR FRANKLIN 3,626 2.75 9,450 Minor Mill& <br /> ST FRONTAGE Arterial Overlay <br /> https://decatur.novusagenda.com/agendaweb/CoverSheet.aspx?ltemlD=4437 1/3 <br />
