INITIATING PROBLEM, ISSUE, OPPORTUNITY (WHO, WHAT, WHEN, WHERE, WH`n:
The problem "defective sidewalk" was created because of tree roots, deleterious subgrade material, alternating freetthaw cycles,
service life limfts, 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 would worsen to a state where it would be
rendered unusable and subject to increased pedestrian injuries from falls and possible litigations.
ADVANTAGES IF APPPOVED:
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 resul. of,�}�� � ivRy.

OISADVANTAGES IF APPPOVED:
Historically, the sidewalk reconstructions have created negative feedback in the area of construction procedure and assessment.
Simp(y stated, property owners detest assessments, and despite the fact up to one-half the assessment is City subsidized, it still
remains controversial.
DISADVANTAGES iF NOT MPAOVED:
This option would allow the infrastructure of sidewalk stock to deteriorate, which in turn, will generate more personal injury suits,
uRimately resuRing in the expenditure of larger dollar amounts in eventual repairs and/or replacement, as well as claim payouts.
