INITIATING PROBLEM, ISSUE, OPPORNNIiY (WHO, WHAT, NM1iEN, WHERE, WH1�:
7he problem "dsfective sidewa(k" was created beca�se of tree roots, deieterious su6grade material, aitemating freerthaw cycles,
service 1'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 falls and possible litigations.
ADVANTAGES IF
The communky will benefit from this project because ii will provide safe detect iree sidewalks for fts 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.
Historically, the sidewalk reconstructions have created negative feedback in the area oi 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.

JUN 21 1996
DISADVANTAGES IF NOT APPROVED:
This option would allow the infrastruc[ure of sidewalk stock to deteriorate, which in turn, will generate more personal injury suits,
uftimately res�iting in ihe expenditure of larger dollar amounts in eventua� repairs and/or replacemeni, as we�l as claim payouts.
