INITIATING ROBL M, ISSUE, OPPORiUNIN (NMO. WHAT, WHEN. WHERE. WFR�:
The problem "defective sidewalk" was created because of tree roots, deleterious subgrade material, afternating freerthaw cycles,
service i'rfe limks, 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 condition wouid worsen to a state where it would be
rendered unusable and subject to increased pedestrian injuries from falls and possible litigations.
ADVANTAGESIFAPPROVEO:
The community will benefi[ from this project because it will provide safe detect free sidewalks for its many citizens. The sidewalk
coMracts are executed by private contractors, so d follows that private sector jobs are created as a resuR of this activity.
DtSAOVANTAGES IF APPROVFA:
Histor'�cally, the sidewalk reconstructions have created negative feedback in the area of cnnstruction procedure and assessment.
Simply stated, property owners detesi assessmenis, and despite the fact up to one-halt the assessment is City subsidized, it still
remains controversial.
DISADVANTAGES IF NOT APPROVEp:
This option would ailow the infrastructure of sidewalk stock to deteriorate, which in turn, will generate more personal injury suits,
uftimately resulting in the expenditure of larger dollar amounts in eventual repairs and/or replacement, as well as claim payouts.
