SUPPORTS WHICH COUNGL OBJECTIVE7
INITIATIN(i PR08LEM,ISSUE,OPPORTUNITY(Who,What,When,Whsre,Why):
The problem "defective sidewalk" was cr at d because of tree roots, deleterious subgrade
material , alternating freeze/thaw cycle � ervice life limits, chemical additives, extreme
temperature varFations, etc. These prob em occur on a citywide level and must be addressed
and corrected on an annu�basis. Left un orrected, the sfdewaik condition would worsen to
a state where it would be rendered unus bl and subJect to increased pedestrian inJuries from
falls and possible litigations.
ADVANTAQES IF APPROVED:
The ccxnmunity will benefit from this pr ec because it will provide safe defect free side-
walks for its many citizens. The sidewal c ntracts are executed by private contractors, so
it follows that private sector jobs are r ted as a result of this activity.
as�uvu�rnaes iF nPVROVeo:
Historically, the sidewalk reconstructio s ave created negative feedback in the area of
const�uction procedure and assessment. S mp y stated, property owners detest assessments,
and despite the fact up to one-half the ss ssmenfi is City� subsidized, it still remains
controversial .
DISADVANTAOES IF 1�T APPROVED:
This option wouid allow the infrastructu e f sidewalk stock to deteriorate, which in turn,
will generate more personal injury suits ultimately resulting in he expenditure of larger
dollar amounts in eventuat repairs and/o r placement� as well as �l�iln�`pe��ti���i�ci1 Center
