DOT options add roughly $12,000 to Broadway HMA; council directs engineer to proceed
Summary
Because DOT funding requires a textural separation between pedestrian and non‑pedestrian areas, staff proposed removing paver turning pads and replacing them with stamped colored concrete, adding about $12,000; council directed staff to proceed to keep the contractor moving.
City engineering staff told council the Broadway HMA project must meet DOT pedestrian‑separation requirements. Rather than install a continuous 6‑inch curb, staff proposed removing most brick paver turning pads except on Main Street and filling the radius with stamped, stained concrete that the DOT will accept as a pedestrian‑separation treatment.
The recommended option increases project costs by an estimated $12,000 to extend concrete and finish work. The engineer said, “Around $12,000 is what we're thinking right now because we had to come back further with more sidewalk,” and asked for council direction to keep the contractor moving. Council voted to direct the engineer to adopt the DOT‑approved option and authorized up to $12,000 in additional cost coverage to proceed.
