Council approves $300,000 sidewalk repair project with DOT match
Summary
Council approved moving forward with a sidewalk repair project estimated at $300,000; a staff member said the split is $60,000 city share and $240,000 from the Department of Transportation, and council noted a pay-as-you-go option to ease cash flow.
Council reviewed and approved a sidewalk repair project estimated at $300,000 in total cost. During discussion city staff clarified the funding split and said the project includes tree work in places where roots have damaged sidewalks; council members supported prioritizing worst sections first and the motion to proceed carried on a voice vote.
“Just to clarify, the $300,000 is the total cost of the project. So it's an $80.20 match. So 60,000 from the city and then 240,000 from DOT,” a city staffer explained during the discussion, and the mayor noted a pay-as-you-go option could reduce the need to front the full city share at once. Council agreed to proceed and approved the recommendation from the finance committee.
