SUPPORTS WHICH COUNqL OBJECTIVE7
INITIATINO PROBLEM,18SUE.OPPORTUNITY(1Nho.Whet,Whsn,Where,Why):
I
The problem "defective sidewalk" was created b ca se of tree roots, leterious subgrade
material , alternating freeze/thaw cyc�les, servi ce life limits�, chexnF 1 additives, extreme
temperature variations, etc� These problems oc ur on a citywide leve and must be addressed
and corrected on an annuaTbasis. Left uncorre te � the sfdew�ralk con ition would worsen to
a state where it would be rendered unusable an s b,ject to increased �pedestrian injuries from
falls and possible litigations, ; ,
�vnHr�oes iF��o: �
The community will benefit from this pro,ject ec use it will provid ; safe defect free side-
walks for its many citizens. The sidewalk con ra ts are executed by �rivate contractors, so
it follows that private sector Jobs are creat d s a result of this �ctivity.
.
qSADVANTAOES IF APPROVED:

construction procedure and assessment. Simpl s ated� property own s detest assessments,

controverslal .

will generate more personal .inJury suits� u ti ately resulting in �he expenditure of .�arger
dollar amounts in eventual repai�s and/or r pl cement, as well as �laim payouts.
