City to monitor leaning stone wall on Blacksmith Lane; guardrail and sidewalk planned
Summary
Staff told the board the leaning stone wall near the pizza shop sits in the city's highway easement, that the city will oversee it during the Cohatch/Blacksmith Lane project, and that a sidewalk and guardrail are planned to improve safety.
Board members asked about a leaning stone wall at the west end near the pizza shop. Planning staff said the wall lies within the city's highway easement and the city is responsible for it; a larger project with Cohatch will include a sidewalk and a guardrail and the site will be monitored during construction and afterwards for safety.
"That is within the city's highway easement. I think we did determine that the city is responsible," a staff member said, noting the Cohatch project and a planned sidewalk will add a guardrail near the wall. Members discussed the wall's likely WPA-era origins and staff said the intent is to monitor stability during renovation and make further repairs only if necessary.
