Committee refers $17,820 stamped-asphalt crosswalk proposal on Palm Boulevard to Ways & Means
Summary
A $17,820 proposal to install stamped-asphalt decorative crosswalks at Palm Boulevard and 43rd and 46th avenues is unbudgeted; the committee agreed to send the item to Ways & Means for a funding decision or to consider adding it in the next fiscal budget.
The Public Safety Committee reviewed a proposal from Asphalt Concepts to install stamped-asphalt crosswalks at Palm Boulevard and 43rd and 46th avenues at an estimated cost of $17,820. Staff said the work is unbudgeted and that Public Works had believed the work was already underway but reported its budget was depleted.
Committee members discussed whether the stamped asphalt is purely decorative or has functional value; staff said the treatment is primarily decorative though it can provide a different sound when driven over that may prompt drivers to slow. Options discussed included referring the item to Ways & Means next week for funding consideration or deferring the work to the next fiscal budget (fall). The committee asked staff to bring the proposal to Ways & Means for a decision.
