The recommendations included: added parallel parking on the <br /> north side of Wood Street between Water and Church, and adding angled parking on the north side <br /> of Prairie Street from Main to the west alley. <br /> BACKGROUND: <br /> Streets Inspected Annually <br /> The Engineering Division inspects and rates approximately 1/2 of the City's streets on a yearly <br /> basis. The results of these inspections are input into a computer database which is used to project <br /> the future condition of the streets based on their current condition, historical condition, and surface <br /> type(i.e. brick, concrete, asphalt, etc.). This data is then paired with available funding and is used <br /> as a basis to aid City Engineering in the preparation of the City's yearly street improvement <br /> program. Staff then determines what type of improvement would be appropriate for each street. <br /> Page I 1 <br />
