INITIATING PROBLEM, ISSUE, OPPORTUNITY (WHO, WHAT. WHEN, VISIERE, WHY):
The problem "defective sidewalk” was created because of tree roots, deleterious subgrade material, alternating free/thaw cycles,
service life limits, chemical additives, extreme termerature variations, etc. These problems occur on a citywide level and must be
addressed and corrected on an annual basis. Lefl 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 APPROVED:
The community will benefit from this project beca'ise it will provide safe detect free sidewalks for its many citizens. The sidewalk
contracts are executed by private contractors, sc it follows that private sector jobs are created as a result of this activity.
DISADVANTAGES F APPROVED:
Historically, the sidewalk reconstructions have created negative feedback in the area of construction procedure and assessment.
Simply stated, property owners detest assessm )nts, and despite the fad up to one -half the assessment is City subsidized, it still
remains controversial.
DISADVANTAGES IF NOT APPROVED:
This option would allow the infrastructure of sid (walk stock to deteriorate, which in turn, will generate more personal injury suits,
ultimately resulting in the expenditure of larger !oiler amounts in eventual repairs and/or replacement, as well as claim payouts.
