Council raises sidewalk, bulb-out safety and utility-locate cleanup requests
Summary
Deputy City Manager Tim Dodd relayed council requests for sidewalk repairs on Old Hampden and South Broadway, removal of utility locates on Broadway, interim safety measures for bulb-outs after a resident reported three vehicles crashing over one, and guidance on temporary fill materials.
Deputy City Manager Tim Dodd summarized multiple council service requests and resident concerns to staff. He asked whether disturbed water and sewer lines could be restored if permitted (citing a prior issue on Oxford), and requested timelines and materials guidance for sidewalk paving and replacement on Old Hampden between Grant and Logan and on South Broadway.
Dodd also asked staff to identify the locations of utility locates and tagging on Broadway that should be removed, and to consider interim cleanup measures to minimize trash while complete streets construction is occurring. He relayed a resident report that "our resident witnessed 3 vehicles crashing over the bulb out this past weekend," and asked whether short-term safety actions, such as higher-visibility painting, could be used until permanent measures are implemented.
Staff did not provide immediate technical answers during the meeting; operations staff were asked to follow up with scheduling, materials guidance and safety assessments.
