IniUating Prablem, lssues, OppoRunity (Who, What, When, Where, Why):
The problem "defecfive sidewalk" was caused by multiple problems, hee roots, poor subgrade materials, free/thaw cycles, service life
limits, chemical additives, extreme temperature variations, etc. These problems occur on a citywide basis and must be addressed and
coaected annually. Left uncotrected, the sidewalk condition would worsen to a state where it would be unusable and subjec[ to
incraased pedestrian injuries from falls and possible litigations.
Advantages If Approved:
The community wilt benefit from this project because it will provide safe defect free sidewaiks for its citizens. The sidewalk conhacts
are done by priva[e contractors generafing public sector jobs as a result:
DisadvanWges If Approved:
Historically, the sidewalk ieconstruction has created negative feedback because of construction procedures and assessments. Having
to assess for walk reconstrucrion remains a controversiai issue.
Disadvantages If Not Approved:
This oprion would atlow the infrastructure of sidewalk stvck to deteriorate, which in turn, will geneiate more pecsonal injury suits,
resulGng in the expendihue of larger dollaz amounts in repairs and replacement, as well as claim payouts.
