OVERVIEW OF PROPOSED FINAL MAJOR AND LOCAL STREET RANKINGS FOR
THE 2026 BOND ROADWAY PROJECTS.
Chair Tito Rodriguez and City Manager Paulette Hartman welcomed several visitors to
the meeting, and Mr. Blankenship, Director of Public Works, began by referring to the
handouts provided to the committee and pointed out that the Street Network will be shared
by email with the committee in the coming days.
City Engineer, Nathan Frohman, followed up on an item from the previous meeting. Mr.
Frohman spoke on the committee's request to analyze additional models. A total of ten
models were run, and the key takeaway discussed was that the same streets continued
to rise to the top regardless of the model.
Mr. Blankenship recapped high-level topics from the previous two committee meetings.
He then reviewed the street inspection process that Public Works staff completed,
including physically inspecting what caused OCI decline. Several factors included recent
construction, localized repairs needed, surface and structural deteriorations, and
degradations.
Mr. Blankenship discussed evaluation criteria and weights for the community rating. He
then reviewed the ranked listing for both major streets and local streets. Several questions
were asked, including some questions on Iron Horse Boulevard, Rumfield Road, OCI,
and project capacity. The ranked list of major streets has a total of 41 individual street
segments, and the ranked list for local streets has a total of 76. City Manager Paulette
Hartman and Assistant City Manager Caroline Waggoner also took questions. Mrs.
Hartman encouraged the committee to take a detailed look at the list and the committee
will further discuss and finalize at the next meeting.
The next meeting will be at the Public Works Service Center; a map of the site address
and parking was provided in the presentation.
It was announced that the March 10 meeting will now be moved to March 4.
