Commission told a crosswalk could cost about $100,000; members press for budget clarity
Summary
A commissioner reported that staff estimated a crosswalk at roughly $100,000; commissioners asked staff to confirm costs as budget season approaches and to identify funding for prioritized projects.
During discussion of priorities and pilot work, one commissioner reported asking staff about crosswalk cost and relayed that staff estimated about $100,000 for a crosswalk. The commissioner summarized that when he asked, "what what would a crosswalk cost?" staff "said a $100,000." The commission treated this as an illustrative order-of-magnitude figure and requested clearer, project-specific cost estimates ahead of budget deliberations.
Staff emphasized uncertainty in early design phases. A staff-aligned speaker said, "I will I will endeavor to get more clarity because we're we are in budgets," and pledged to return with tighter estimates and guidance on how many projects could realistically be funded in the coming cycle. Commissioners said they need cost columns in the workbook before the formal budget request is prepared.
