The problem "defective sidewalk" was created because of tree roots, deleterious subgrade material, aRernating freefthaw cycles,
service I'rfe 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 sidewaik condition would worsen to a state where it wouVd be
rendered unusable and subject to increased pedestrian injuries from talls and possible litigations.
ADVANTAGES IF APPROVED:
The community will benetR from this project because it wilf provide safe detect free sidewalks for iis many citizens. The sidewalk
contracts are executed by private contractors, so it follows that private sector jobs are created as a resuft of this activity.
