Requesting More Funding This program includes multiple sub-programs: Pipe and Headwall Repair/Replacement, Road Stabilization, Safety/Spot Improvements, Bridge Repairs/Painting, and Rural Roads Enhancements. Funding ($10K/yr) is in place for Bicycle Signage as recommended by the Bicycle and Pedestrian Action Committee. The Pipe Culvert Replacement aspect of this project includes the repair and replacement of pipe culverts and associated headwalls/end treatments with an opening of less than 20' (or extreme ends of openings for multiple pipes) which have been identified through routine inspections or complaints. These culverts are not covered under the Federal Bridge Replacement and Rehabilitation Program. Funding for Road Stabilization projects will be added to this program as they are identified. Safety/Spot improvement projects include widening of existing roadways/intersections for improved safety and efficiency, stabilization of roadway embankments, sight distance enhancements, or drainage improvements. The safety/spot improvements projects in this program will typically require permitting, utility relocations, engineering/design, and/or project management/inspections that are typically beyond the scope of a routine maintenance project but don't meet the requirements of a stand-alone CIP project. Bridge Repair/Painting includes preventative maintenance and repair treatments for spans over 20' including cleaning/painting, concrete deck repairs, bridge deck joint repairs/replacement, and minor to moderate repair/replacement of bridge elements. Rural Roads Enhancements within this program provides for localized repairs or enhancements, beyond routine maintenance, to roadways that are within the County's Rural Roads Program. The work in this sub-program will include drainage improvements (ditch and pipe work), localized grading/widening, and localized road stabilization as needed to minimize maintenance costs and provide a safe roadway for road users in strict compliance with the requirements of the Rural Roads Program. **Prior budget is tracked in sub-projects** As of August 7, 2024, this project is included in the county's 2025-2030 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) *Project information has been obtained through a public capital improvement plan (CIP).
