INITIATING PROBLEM. ISSUE, OPPORTUNITY (WHO. WHAT, WHEN, WHE E. WHY):
The problem "defective sidewalk" was created because of tree roots, deleterious subgrade material, alternating free/thaw cycles, i
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 u'corrected, the sidewalk condition would worsen to a state where it would be
rendered unusable and subject to increased pedesti an 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 'ollows that private sector jobs are created as a result of this activity.
DISADVANTAGES IF APPROVED:
Historically, the sidewalk reconstructions have creMed negative feedback in the area of construction procedure and assessment,
Simply stated, property owners detest assessment 1, 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 dollar amounts in eventual repairs and /or replacement, as well as claim payouts.
