Title
Subject: (Direct Referral) Communication from the Assistant Commissioner of Public Works/ Engineering requesting the City of Racine turn down the request by WisDOT to install sidewalks on ARRA State Project ID: 2703-00-00 South Memorial Drive - Chicory Road to City limits. (Res.09-1700)
Recommendation of the Public Works and Services Committee on 11-10-09: That the City not install sidewalks along S. Memorial Drive from Chicory Road north to the city limits for the following reasons:
A. Lack of continuity. Sidewalks do not exist on Chicory Road north of the city limits nor on S. Memorial Drive.
B. Construction of sidewalks exceeds 20% of the project cost. The estimated cost of installing sidewalks is $150,000.00.
C. Lack of pedestrians within this industrial park.
Fiscal Note: By denying the installation of sidewalk, there will be no cost to the City of Racine.
