YES NO E�lain all yes answers on separate sheet and attach to green sheet WA INIiiATING PROBLEM, ISSUE, OPPORTUNITV (WHO, WHAT, WHEN, WHERE, WNh: The problem "defective sidewalk" was created because of tree roots, deleterious subgrade material, aRernating free/thaw cycles, service life limits, chemical additives, extreme temperature variations, etc. These problems occur on a citywide level and must be addressed and corrected on an annual basis. Left uncorrected, the sidewalk cond'Rion would worsen to a state where it would be rendered unusable and subject to increased pedestrian injuries from falls and possible litigations. ADVAN7AGES IF APPROVED: The community will benefit from this project because it will provide safe detect free sidewalks for its many citizens. The sidewalk contracts are executed by private contractors, so it follows that private sector jobs are created as a resuft of this activ'Ry. DISADVANTAGES IF APPROVEO: Historically, the sidewalk reconstructions have created negative feedback in the area of construction procedure and assessment. Simply stated, property owners detest assessments, and despite the fact up to one-half the assessment is City subsidized, it sYi11 remains controversial. OfSADVANTAGES IF N�T PPPR�VED: This option would allow the infrastructure of sidewalk stock to deteriorate, which in turn, will generate more personal injury suits, ultimately resuking in the expenditure of larger dollar amounts in eventual repairs andfor replacement, as well as claim payouts. � g�� s� � .�e¢ g'a,4:�:s.�; a 4F'EP"$LU4 i�"w.vCSL,�.n ..,e._o,_ .i':.' ti � �+J�� TOTALAMOUNTOFTRANSACiION$ o�,2SO,OO COS7lREVENUEBUDGETED(CIRCLEONE) YES,, No FUNDINGSOURCE �5^M fl PPA 95 = 515 ��d� ACINITYNUMBER �95-Z�'727-0784 Oto FINANCIALINFOpMAT10N:(IXPLAIN) B� AST = t a OO� C.

MN 551 Q2 Dear Councilmember Harris, C'�L�I��INIT`I' C'O�IIVCIL �� The Transportation Committee of the Highland Ar�a Community Coancil met on May 4 to ciscuss the proposed sidetivalks on Albert Street. A num- ber of area residents were present. It was made clear that assessment would not be an issue, the sidewali<s will be constructed evith 'longside funds'. Some concern about the potential ioss of trees was raised, the neighbors were assured that every eEfort would be made to save the Yrees. A problem with the removal of snotiv in the winter is a concern for soms of the older resiclents. The Community Council wili continue to mai<e arrangements with the Chore Service at the Jewish Con7munity Center and with the Minisrty program ac Cretin/Derham Hal! to find help shoveling the snow. Aft�r discussion the Tr�nsportation Committee pass�d the following resolution: "The Highland Area Community Council Transpertation Committee supports the installation of sidewalks along Albert Street from Highland Parkway on the south to at least Hartford Avenue on the north. We recommend that sidewali<s be extended to existing side- wall<s north of Hartford on A?bert Street. This neighborhood has brought many concerns tq the Council regarding the safety of traftic qn AlberC Street. Stop siyns have been added to siow traffic and make the area safer for pedestrians anci the nEighbo� Siciewalks wpuld sic�nitic�rrkiy imprav� the �<�€c�ty afi r,hildrnn walkine� tp Floly Spirit, EXPQ Mac�neC ar�c1 Cretin/t?�rham Hail Sch�ols. W<. dand�rstand that this wili have an impact �i� the �ro�erty owners alonc� AlberT Street. Since no homes Face Aibert Street and [he sidewall< would go along tl�e 'long sicle' of Yhe yards, praperty owners would no*. be assessed for the cost of tl�e ,iciewalk.
