ROADWAY PROJECTS TBD Project Rank: 1 - Street Overlay / Resurfacing The map below (click here for PDF version) depicts those street segments in Edmonds (marked in orange) that are in the worst condition and therefore most in need of paving. These streets rated either 4 or 5 on a five-point scale with condition descriptors of "Poor" or "Severe". This amounts to approximately 1/3 of our total street system. It is the intent of the City to pursue paving projects on these streets to improve their condition with half of the new revenue generated by the $40 annual increase in the TBD Local User Fee. The map also depicts a number of streets that will be paved in 2011 using Water Utility funds as mitigation for street damage caused by replacement of the water main in each street (blue street segments). There are also several locations (blue with red zigzag) where streets are rated 4 or 5 and we will be replacing the water main in 2011. On those streets there will be a shared funding to compl...
