Street Re-Surfacing Projects

Background:   The City of Woodland Park is responsible for the maintenance of and rehabilitation of approximately 55 centerline miles or 108 lane miles of roads. A pavement condition survey and road needs analysis was conducted by Stantec Consulting Inc (Stantec) in 2007 to provide the City with results to assist the City staff in maximizing the efficiency of the City's road maintenance and rehabilitation programs. The objectives of this Pavement Management Program were:

• To collect the pavement performance data to assess the current condition of the City's road network;

• To estimate the future condition of the pavement network and determine the maintenance and rehabilitation requirements over the next 5 years;

• To make recommendations for an ongoing pavement management program.

In 2008 the City contracted for street re-surfacing which included a combination of chip sealing, cape sealing, milling and overlaying.  In 2009 a combination of chip sealing and full depth pavement reclamation was completed.  In 2010 budget constraints only allowed a limited number of streets to receive re-surfacing and our work focused on full depth reclamation for a few, higher traffic volume streets that had failing pavements and were in very poor shape. The focus of our 2011 plan was to return to preventative maintenance and pavement preservation through the application of chip seal re-surfacing.

We are planning to update the City's Pavement Management Program and re-establish street repair and maintenance priorities in 2013.

2012 Re-surfacing Plan (as of 12 Apr 2012):  We are planning a combination of full depth reclamation, overlays and chip sealing this coming year.  Streets planned for major work in 2012 include:

• Woodland Drive
• Park Drive
• Valley View & Crestwood Drive
• Midland Ave
• Post Office Alley

The following streets are planned for chip sealing or overlays (Chip sealing work is scheduled for June 2012):

• Sun Valley Drive
• Sunnywood Avenue
• Aspen Garden Way
• Pinon Ridge Drive
• Misty Pines Circle
• Glen Dale Drive
• Morning Sun Drive (US 24 to Sun Valley Dr)
• Browning Avenue
• Michael Lane (overlay)
• Northwoods Drive (overlay)

Our long range plans include a pavement design and re-paving of Trout Creek Road from the intersection with the entrance road to Wommack Ministries "The Sanctuary" to the City Limits.  The design of the re-paving and minor drainage improvements was completed in 2011 with the actual construction planned for completion within the next couple of years.

Filling of pot holes and pavement spot repairs will continue and we encourage citizens to please contact Public Works at 719-687-5293 to report any pot holes that need attention from our Pot Hole Patrol.
