INITIATINO PROBLEM.ISSUE.OPPORTUNITV(1Nho,Whet.Whsn,WMre,Whyg
The problem "defective sidewalk w s created because of tree roots, deleterious
subgrade material, alterating f ee e/thaw cycles, service life limits, chemical
additives, extreme temperature ar ations, etc. These problems occur on a city-
wide level and must be addresse a d corrected on an annual basis. Left uncorrecte ,
the sidewalk condition would rs n to a state where it would be rendered unusable
and subject to increased pedest i in3uries from falls and possible litigations.
ADVANTAOES IF APPF�VED:
The communtty will benefit fro t is project because it will provide safe
defect free sidewalksfor its m ny citizens. ` The sidewalk contracts are executed by
private contractors, so it fol ow that private sector jobs are created as a
res�lt of this activity.
DFSADVANTAOES IF APPROVED:
Historically, the sidewalk re on tructions have created negative feedback
in the area of construction p oc dure' and assessment. Simply stated,
property owners detest assess en s, and despite the fact up to one-half the
assessment is City subsidized i still remains controversial.
DISADVANTAQE8 IF NOT APPROVED:
This option would allow the ' f structure of sidewalk stock to deteriorate,
which in turn, will generate o personal injury suits, ultimately resulting
in the expenditure of larger do lar amounts in eventual repairs and/or
replacement, as well as clai p youts. 4�;,:�.� , ���:���.'���i:il i,��il2t"

HEARING D T : May 11, 1989

N. . mmi Avenue - I n Av n K n r
This order was initiated by the Director f P blic Works as a public necessity on the
basis of 1 complaint, 1 request for repai , t e request of Joseph Koenig (City Engineer)
and an inspection of the walk.
This walk is old tile with broken tile, hol s i tile, asphalt patches, uneven tile, settled
tile and heaved tile.
The Engineering Recommendation is f r pproval of the order for reconstruction as
per the Heritage Preservation Commi io (HPC) resolution 87-4 passed on July 9,
1987. This resolution pertains to the r pl cement criteria for sidewalks on Summit
Avenue. The resolution states:
1. Any proposed Department of ubl c Works activity within a Heritage
Preservation District and requi in City Council approval should be reviewed by
the Heritage Preservation Co mi sion before going to the City Council for
approval; the recommendatio s the Heritage Preservation Commission
should be sent to the City Co nci along with the Department of Public Works
proposal; and
2. The concrete tile public side alk along Summit Avenue between Selby
Avenue and Dale Street and lo g streets which intersect Summit Avenue
between the alleys and Sum it venue should be replaced with poured
concrete sidewalks with the II ing conditions:
The need for replacem nt s documented;
The sidewalks are a wi h of 10 feet and scored (not sawcut) in a 2 foot
square pattern where t e urrent width is 10 feet, and a width of 9 feet and
scored in an 18 inch p tte n where the current width is 9 feet with 18 inch
' - � � . � � (�,������
• tiles;
The expansion joints match he coring; and
Handicap ramps are installe a on the northeast and northwest corners of
Summit and Western Aven es, with a section of granite curbing lowered
and the ramps on the insid of he curbs as part of the poured concrete
sidewalk; and
3. Stone slab sidewalks along Su mit Avenue generally should be maintained
and repaired as necessary with ri inal materials; asphalt and concrete
patches should not be used; an
4. Any historic public sidewalk, cu in , street lighting or other public property,
including brick and stone pavin , s ould be protected by property owners,
contractors, the Department of u lic Works and utitlities from damage due to
construction, snow removal or th r reasons; and historic property that is
damaged should be repaired ith riginal materials; asphalt and concrete
patches should not be used.
Because of the historic aspects of th ar a, the amount of pedestrian use and the
resolution by HPC, the Engineering ivi ion of Public Works will not be making the
normal recommendations for replac e t of sidewalks. Our recommendations are as
follows:
1. Replace all old tile (2 feet by fe t, 18 inch by 18 inch, hexagon or other) with
new mono walk as indicated n e drawings (approximately 1 ,300 lineal feet).
2. The new mono walk will be th r 9 feet or 10 feet wide.
3. The new mono walk will be co d (not sawcut) to either 2 feet by 2 feet or 18
inch x 18 inch and the expa sio joints will match scoring. Where a new 9 foot
wide mono walk exists with fe t by 2 feet scoring, the new walk will match the
2 feet by 2 feet score tile lo k. 8 inch by 18 inch scoring witl take place only if
. . . . ���a�
- the walk is 9 foot wide and no new si e Ik exists.
4. Handicap ramps installed where nee e . Follow the HPC recommendation on
the installation.
5. The Department of Public Works pr po es to provide all property owners in the
area the option to have the public s' e alks along their property replaced with
new poured and scored concrete si e alks under City contact in 1989, or to
have the existing tile sidewalks rep ir to Department of Public Works
standards and specifications in 19 9 nder private contract and a permit issued
by the Department of Public Work (if a property owner chooses the repair
option but fails to complete the w k i 1989, the Department of Public Works
proposes to implement the pour a d core option under City contract in 1990.
HPC has reviewed our recommendatio fo reconstruction in 1988 and then again in
1989 and passed resolution 89-1 (see a hed) on February 9, 1989.

with it in principle with the following ex ep ons:
1. Items 1 and 2 under resolved a e Iready discussed above.
