Commission discusses street reconstructions, sidewalks and wayfinding budget
Summary
Members discussed the Charles and Sherman reconstruction, sidewalk placement and potential public pushback, and staff described a DPW wayfinding budget (roughly $20,000–$50,000) intended for larger signage/wayfinding projects rather than small neighborhood signs.
Commissioners revisited prior street work and raised questions about reconstruction scope, sidewalk placement and property impacts. After referencing the completed work at the Charles and Sherman intersection, one commissioner said reconstruction must meet current requirements and likely include sidewalks on at least one side. "Which You have a lot of pedestrians," the Chair noted when discussing Johnson Street as a model.
Staff explained that the Department of Public Works budget includes funding for larger wayfinding or access projects rather than installing a handful of neighborhood signs. "The village department of public works does have a budget that can allow for installing signage... These are shown as, 50,000 to $20,000 will be larger out wayfinding projects," staff said; they characterized this as focused on connectivity downtown and to trails and parks. Commissioners asked staff to provide a timeline for streetlight installations, which were approved in the current year's budget.
