Public works details pavement management program, $393M replacement value and LIDAR pilot
Summary
Public works staff told the council Lakeville maintains about 333 miles of city streets with an asset replacement value near $393 million and described treatments, OCI targets, and a potential LIDAR/AI pilot to improve inspections and planning for the 2027–2031 CIP.
Public works staff gave the council an update on the city's pavement management program: the city maintains roughly 333 miles of streets (excluding state and county roads) with an estimated replacement value of about $393 million. Staff said the pavement program focuses on preventative treatments — crack sealing, rejuvenators, mill-and-overlay and full-depth reconstruction — to extend pavement life and avoid costlier reconstruction projects. Current overall condition-index (OCI) scores were cited at about 81 for local streets and 77 for collectors; the program’s goal is to maintain the network near a 75 OCI and use preservation treatments to keep reconstruction levels low.
Staff described estimated costs for different treatments, noted the city is exploring LIDAR and AI for more consistent inspections and OCI generation, and presented proposed transportation projects for the 2027–2031 CIP. The presentation emphasized long-term lifecycle planning and the potential for technology to reduce inspection labor while improving data consistency.
