INITIATING PROBLEM, ISSUE, OPPOfliUNITV (WHO, WHAT, WHEN, WHERE, WH1�: -
The problem "defective sidewalk" was created because of tree roots, deleterious subgrade material, alternating 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 sidewalk condition would worsen to a state where it would be
rendered unusable and subjed to increased pedestrian injuries from falis and possible litigations.
A�VANTAGESIFAPPROVED:
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 result of this activity.

DISADVANTAGES IF APPflOVED:
Historically, the sidewalk reconstructions have created negative feedback in the area of construction procedure and assessment.
Simply 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 APPROVED:
This option would allow the infrastructure of sidewalk stock to deteriorate, which in turn, will generate more personal injury suits,
ultimately resulting in the expenditure of larger doliar amounts in eventual repairs and/or replacement, as well as claim payouts.
