Greendale board adopts updated 10‑year road plan and asks staff to add Sendex–Clover sidewalk estimate
Summary
The Village Board approved a revised 10‑year roads and infrastructure plan after staff moved several streets forward or back in the schedule and presented a preliminary $3.3 million estimate for major 2026 projects. Trustees asked staff to add a separate cost and safety analysis for a proposed Sendex–Clover sidewalk.
The Village of Greendale Board voted to adopt an updated 10‑year road and infrastructure plan after staff presented a biennial pavement assessment and adjustments to the schedule.
Public works staff told the board they had reprioritized several segments: Sussex was moved up to 2027 from 2033 because of poor condition; Dahlia, Daffodil and Elstead were deferred to 2033; Basswood and Shamrock were shifted to 2030 from 2029; Manchester moved to 2029. Staff said a proposed 2026 package would rehabilitate Southway (Broad Street to State Street) and reconstruct Ramsey (Loomis Road to 51st Street) to address subsurface drainage problems. The preliminary cost estimate for the 2026 work is roughly $3.3 million.
The acting chair asked staff to clarify whether utility work was included. The presenting staff member said the 2026 project is primarily roadwork and would not include water‑main replacements except for necessary storm‑sewer improvements; water‑main replacements for Oxford were moved up to 2028 to address repeated breaks.
Trustees also discussed a proposed sidewalk from Sendex to Clover Lane. Staff said the standalone sidewalk would cost about $56,000 but could realize savings if incorporated into the 2026 project. Several trustees expressed safety concerns about the sidewalk alignment near a gas‑station driveway and asked staff to evaluate design changes (shifting the path nearer the building, adding signage or other traffic‑calming measures). The board directed staff to provide a separate cost estimate for that sidewalk and a safety study to be included with the project materials.
A trustee moved to adopt the revised 10‑year plan as presented and to include the new sidewalk cost estimate and safety analysis; the motion was seconded and approved by roll call.
The board said it will review final designs and cost details before authorizing construction contracts. The acting chair asked that the sidewalk cost be clearly broken out in future materials so trustees can see the tradeoffs when the capital budget is updated later this year.
