In order to develop a long-term street maintenance plan and budget, the City of Edmonds has engaged with Infrastructure Management Services LLC (IMS) to complete a detailed inventory and condition rating of all roadways and select right of way assets owned by the City.  The data is collected and loaded into an asset management program specifically designed to assist the City with development of a long-term rehabilitation plan and budget.

Beginning July 2^nd, IMS will inventory and collect pavement performance data using a device known as a Laser Road Surface Tester or RST.  This device measures pavement roughness, rutting, cracking and other surface distresses as it travels down the roadway.  It will also collect digital video and Global Positioning Satellite (GPS) information for cataloging right of way assets (such as traffic signs).  The RST is a 2014 one-ton Ford van with up to 5 inside mounted cameras and GPS receivers, and a modified front bumper.  The RST travels at posted speed limits and will survey each roadway at least once.

Snohomish County Set to Kick off 2017 Overlay Program!

Snohomish County has awarded the contract for the 2017 Overlay Program to Lakeside Industries.

Part of this contract involves overlaying approximately 7 lane-miles of streets within the City of Edmonds.  The work here in Edmonds is currently expected to begin on July 5th and should run through July 20th.

All roadway construction operations are weather-dependent but this is especially true of paving so be sure to check back often for updates!
