The problem "defective sidewalk" was caused by multiple problems, tree roots, poor subgrade materials, freezetthaw cycles, service
life limits, chemicaf additives, extseme temperature varia£wns, etc. These problems occur o� a citywide basis and must be addressed
and corrected annually. Left uncorrected, the sidewalk condition would worsen to a state where it would be unusable and subject to
increased pedestrian injuries from falls and possible litigations.
ADVANTAGES IF APPFSOVED:
The community will benefit from this project because it will provide safe defect free sidewalks for its citizens. The sidewalk contracts
are done by private contractors generating private sector jobs as a result.
DISADVANTAGES IF APPROVED:
Historically, the sidewalk reconstructions have created negative feedback because of construction procedures and assessments.
Properry owners question the assessments, despite the fact that up to one-half the assessment is City subsidized. Having to assess
for walk reconstruction remains a controversial issue.
DISADVANTAGES IF NOT APPPWED:
This option would aliow the infrastructure of sidewalk stock to deteriorate, which in tum, will generate more personal injury suits,
resufting in the expenditure of larger dollar amounts in repairs and replacement, as well as claim payouts.

I 8 M, I$$UE.OPPORRINITY(WMO, WHAT, WHEN, WHERE, WH1�:
The problem "defective sidewalk" was caused by multiple problems, tree roots, poor subgrade materials, freezetthaw cycles, service
life limits, chemicaf additives, extseme temperature varia£wns, etc. These problems occur o� a citywide basis and must be addressed
and corrected annually. Left uncorrected, the sidewalk condition would worsen to a state where it would be unusable and subject to
increased pedestrian injuries from falls and possible litigations.
ADVANTAGES IF APPFSOVED:
The community will benefit from this project because it will provide safe defect free sidewalks for its citizens. The sidewalk contracts
are done by private contractors generating private sector jobs as a result.
DISADVANTAGES IF APPROVED:
Historically, the sidewalk reconstructions have created negative feedback because of construction procedures and assessments.
Properry owners question the assessments, despite the fact that up to one-half the assessment is City subsidized. Having to assess
for walk reconstruction remains a controversial issue.
DISADVANTAGES IF NOT APPPWED:
This option would aliow the infrastructure of sidewalk stock to deteriorate, which in tum, will generate more personal injury suits,
resufting in the expenditure of larger dollar amounts in repairs and replacement, as well as claim payouts.
