INITIATING PROBLEM. ISSUE. OPPORTUNITY (WHO, WHAT, WHEN. WHE E. WHY):
The problem "defective sidewalk" was created becal se of tree roots, deleterious subgrade material, alternating free/thaw cycles,
service life 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 ui corrected, 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 because it will provide safe detect free sidewalks for its many citizens. The sidewalk
contracts are executed by private contractors, so it allows that private sector jobs are created as a result of this activity.
DISADVANTAGES IF APPROVED:
Historically, the sidewalk reconstructions have crested 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 stil
remains controversial.
MAY 16 1994
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 dolly amounts in eventual repairs and /or replacement, as well as claim payouts.
