MEMORANDUM
Date: July 15, 1998
To:
The Honorable Mayor and City Counsel
From: Jim Brachtel, Senior Engineer
Re:
1998 Pavement Marking Project
The Pubic Works Department is proposing that the City Council consider
authorizing the 1998 Pavement Marking Project. This would provide for placing
epoxy paint pavement marking on the center line and lane lines of the City's
streets listed below:
STREET
First Avenue
Kirkwood Avenue
Lower Muscatine
Gilbert Street
Gilbert Street
Dubuque Street
Mormon Trek Blvd.
Benton Street
Keokuk Street
Byington/Grand Avenue
FROM
US Highway 6
Glinton Street
Deforest Street
Market Street
US Highway 6
Jefferson Street
Benton Street
US Highway 6
Highland Avenue
US Highway 6
TO
Bradford Street
Deforest Street
First Avenue
Kirkwood Street
Stevens Drive
Kimball Road
Abbey Lane
Kirkwood Avenue
Sandusky Avenue
Melrose Avenue
These streets were selected because of a history of rapid wear of pavement
markings.
Currently the city has been using a water based latex paint pavement marking
product. The paint has been susceptible to rapid wear and does not retain glass
beads which are placed in the wet paint to provide night time re~ectivity. The
latex paint has not survived the City's harsh winters and its snow removing
efforts. The proposed epoxy paint system is projected to last 3 to 4 years in
serviceable condition. Additionally, the epoxy paint will retain glass beads for a
longer period of time providing night time reflectivity for a longer period of time
and better service for the driving public.
Based upon experience to be gained from this project, additional streets can be
treated with epoxy paint pavement markings in the future.
