Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) - City of Delaware

PART III. GUIDING STRATEGIES
Streets and Transportation
Resurface city streets using a 70/30 split approach - 70% is applied to mill and fill
and overlays and 30% is applied toward crack seal, slurry seal, and rejuvenator
coatings.
Maintain all arterial roadways, collectors, and local roadways at 70 PCI
(Pavement Condition Index) or above.
Upgrade all public sidewalks intersecting with roads scheduled to be resurfaced to
current American Disabilities Act (ADA) standards which require access for the
physically impaired.
Use the Thoroughfare Plan and the City’s Comprehensive Plan as a guiding vision
and source of several street and transportation projects.
Pursue additional funding both locally and through the state and federal
government.
Assess the current street infrastructure by monitoring the pavement condition
index (PCI) as a baseline, conducting windshield surveys, and monitoring where
ongoing road maintenance efforts and condition changes.
Maintain and improve upon the city current “good” PCI rating of (68-81).
Implement the use of intermediate pavement maintenance operations such as
slurry seals and asphalt rejuvenator applications to extend the estimated life
expectancy of the pavement surface.
Monitor input from citizen surveys related to road infrastructure and work to
alleviate traffic congestion and maintain streets.
Limit the use of MORPC funds to fund major federal and state route highway
projects.
Municipal Airport
Promote the economic benefit of aviation to the community and strive for self
sustaining operations.
Work to increase the number of based aviation businesses and corporate general
aviation aircrafts utilizing the airfield.
Use the city’s $150,000 annual entitlement funds from the FAA and roll any
unused balances into future years for up to 3 years.
Continue seeking FAA State of Ohio apportionment funds (via ODOT) for
general aviation projects.
Consider future applications to ODOT’s $2 million state aviation grant program.
Continue administering an airport TIF fund that accounts for the tax increment
financing real estate payments the city receives from property taxes paid in the
corporate hanger and the private T-hangers constructed at the airport.
