INITIATII�a PROBLEM,�BUE.OPPORTUNITY(VYHO.WHA , N.NMERE.WHV):
The problem "defedive sidewalk"was created because of tree roots,deleterious subgrade material,aRernating fresrthaw cycles,
servico lifa limits,cham�ai additives,extreme temperature variations,etc. These problems oxur on a citywide level and must be
addreased and�rocted on an annual basis. Leit uncorrected,the sidewalk conditian would worsen to a state where it would be
rendered unusable and subject to increased pedestrian injuries from falis and possible litigations.
ADVANTKiEB IF APPROVED:
The community wiU benefit from this project because it will provide safe detect free sidewaiks for fts many citize�s. The sidewalk
oontracts are executed by private contractors, so it follows that private sector jobs are created as a resuft ot this activity.
D�ADVANTAOESIF APPROVED:
Hisbrically,the sidawalk reconstructions have created negative feedback in the area of construction procadure and assessment.
Simply stated,property owners detest assessmonts, and despite the fact up to one-half the assessmer�t is City subsidized, ft still
remains controversial.
Caiulc� Researt�t Cant�+'
JUN 21 199�
DISADVANTA(iE8 IF NOT APPf�VED:
This o�bn would allow the infrastructure of sidewalk stock to deteriorate,which in turn,will generate more personal injury suits,
ultimately resufting ln the expenditure oi larger dollar amounts in eventual repairs and/or replac�ment,as well as claim payouts.
