Council sends $2.4M, four‑year sidewalk rehabilitation plan to committee for review
Summary
The council referred a multi-year sidewalk rehabilitation plan—roughly $2.4 million across four years, about $480,000 per district—to committee and district councilors for confirmation of petitioned streets; members asked staff to confirm that all previously petitioned sidewalks were included.
The City Council voted to send a four‑year sidewalk rehabilitation plan to the appropriate joint committee and to district councilors for review after councilors requested a final check that all previously petitioned sidewalks were included.
City staff told the council the four‑year program totals roughly $2.4 million; councilors and the city manager said that amount is meant to fund repairs across all districts and is equivalent to about $480,000 per council district. Councilor Russell asked the clerk’s office and the Department of Transportation and Maintenance (DTM) to confirm that every sidewalk petition filed over the last four years appears on the list of scheduled work; the clerk reported that staff had already compiled the petitions and that a few petitioned streets were added after initial preparation.
The council agreed to route the item to the joint committee on Traffic and Parking and Public Works and to notify district councilors so they can verify the petition lists before the committee meets. Councilors emphasized the importance of issuing contracts and bids in time for the construction season.
Ending: The multi‑year sidewalk plan will move to committee for detailed review and an updated street list; no appropriation vote was finalized at the meeting.
