SUPPORTS WHICH COUNqL OBJECTIVET
INITL4TINa PROBLEM.ISSUE.OPPORTUNITY(Who,What,WMn,Whers.Wh�:
The problem "defective side��ralk" was crea ed because of tree roots, deleterious subgrade
r,^,aterial , alternatinc7 freeze/thaw cycles , se vice life limits , chemical additives, extreme
temperature variations , etc, Tnese proble s ccur on a citywide level and must be ad�ressed
and corrected on an annual basis. Left un or ected, the sidewalk condition would worsen to
a state where it tyould be rendered unusab e nd subject to increased eedestrian injuries fron
falls and �ossible liti�ations.
ADVANTAOES IF APPROVED:
l ie corr�unity will benefit from this proj ct because it will provide safe defect free side-
walks for its many citizens. The sidewalk co tracts are executed by private contractors, so
it follows that private sector jobs are c ea ed as a result of this activity.
DISADVANTACiES If APPHOVEO:
Historically� tf�e side��alk reconstruction n ve created negative feedback in the area of
construction procedure and assessment. Si ol stated � property owners detest assessments ,
and despite the fact up to one-half the a se sment is City subsidized � it still remains
controversial ,
DI3ADVANTAOE3 IF NOT APPROVEO:
This option would allow the infrastructur o sidewalk stock to deteriorate, which in turn,
will generate more personal injury suits, ul imately resulting in the expenditure of larqer
dollar amounts in eventual repairs and/or re lacement , as �yell as claim payouts.
