Council reviews sidewalk repairs, ADA ramp and storage for new bucket truck
Summary
Public Works items included a new bucket truck in the Street Department, sidewalk repair estimates (about $10,000), an ADA sidewalk in front of the Whistle Stop, and a combined estimate of $17,000 for sidewalks/concrete at the roundabout and Cherry Street; Mayor Patterson proposed a south-of-tracks building for departmental storage.
The Street Department reported it has received a new bucket truck and councilors reviewed estimates for sidewalk repairs during the May 6 Committee of the Whole meeting.
Officials cited a $10,000 estimate for sidewalk repairs and noted the need to add an ADA-compliant sidewalk in front of the Whistle Stop. Councilors also discussed sidewalk or concrete work at the roundabout and on Cherry Street; a combined estimate of $17,000 for all three locations was described as a good deal.
Council member Bill Cook asked whether the village needs a shelter for the bucket truck; Mayor Aaron Patterson said he would like a larger building built on the south side of the tracks to house some Village departments and equipment, which could address storage concerns.
No formal authorization or funding vote occurred at the meeting; councilors indicated sidewalk work and potential storage costs will be considered in budget planning.
