DDA discusses but tables funding for Metro Health sidewalk at 48th/LMD
Summary
Members discussed a developer request for DDA assistance to fund a Metro Health sidewalk at 48th/LMD, noting a natural change in elevation would require fill or a bridge and that the board wants a cost comparison and review of precedent; the discussion was tabled for a future meeting.
The Downtown Development Authority discussed a developer request for DDA assistance to fund a new Metro Health sidewalk at 48th/LMD and tabled the matter for a future meeting so members can review cost differences and past precedent.
Members noted the site has a natural change in elevation that would require adding fill or potentially installing a bridge, which would increase costs beyond a standard sidewalk installation. Board members asked staff and the developer to provide a comparison of the cost of a standard sidewalk versus the additional work this project would require and to compile information on past DDA precedent for similar assistance.
The minutes record that the board tabled further action pending those cost comparisons and precedent checks; no funding commitment or timetable was recorded in the meeting minutes.
