INITIATING PROBLEM, ISSUE, OPPOflTUNITY (Wr10, WriAT, WHEN, WHEflE. WHY):
The problem "defective sidewalk" was created because of tree roots, deleterious subgrade material, aRernating free/thaw cycles,
service I'rfe limits, chemical addftives, extreme temperature variations, etc. These problems occur on a citywide level and must be
addressed and corrected on an annual basis. Left uncorreded, the sidewaik condition would worsen to a state where it wouid be
rendered unusable and subject to increased pedestrian injuries from falls and possible litigations.
A�VANTAGES IF APPflOVED:
The community will benefit from this projed because it will provide safe deted free sidewalks for its many citizens. The sidewalk
contracts are executed by private contractors, so it follows that private sector jobs are6ereated'aS a resulf_of fhis-activiry.

DISADVpNTAGES IF APPROYED: -
Historically, the sidewalk reconstructions have created negative feedback in the area of construction procedure and assessment.
Simply stated, property owners detest assessmenis, and despite the iad up to one-fialS tfie assessment is C+ty subsidized, it siifl
remains controversial.
DISADVANTAGES IF NOT APPROVED:
This option would allow the infrastructure of sidewalk stodc 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.
