#2 Report from Sidewalk Task Force Committee and possible action on suspended 2012 sidewalk program
PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT MEMORANDUM
July 16, 2012
TO: City Council
FROM: Carl J. Weber P.E., Director of Public Works
SUBJECT: Report from Sidewalk Task Force Committee and possible action on
suspended 2012 sidewalk program.
Staff Recommendation
Staff recommends that the Council:
1. Direct that sidewalk be installed in the additional locations recommended
by the Task Force on 7/11/12.
2. Defer all locations which originally received orders for installation in 2012
and have not been reviewed by the Task Force prior to the 7/16/12 City
Council meeting until a future construction year.
City Manager’s Recommendation
The City Manager recommends that the City Council approve the Sidewalk Task
Force’s recommendation to add 5079 linear feet to be installed in the 2012
program year. The specific streets are on the attached spreadsheet. This will
bring to a total of 17,114 linear feet of sidewalk to be installed in 2012.
Any action tonight will close out the 2012 program year. The committee is
beginning to move forward on future sidewalk extensions outlined in the PTCP for
existing neighborhoods. The committee has begun to discuss how the filters will
be used in connection with the ranking system.
Suggested Motion
Move that the sidewalk installation orders for the additional streets recommended
by the Sidewalk Task Force on 7/11/12 be retained with an installation deadline of
8/24/12. Further than any remaining streets from the 2012 program, not reviewed
by the Task force at this time, be deferred from consideration until a future
construction year.
Request
The City Council, at its April 30, 2012 special meeting, adopted Resolution No.
2012-907 which:
1. Delayed the previously established 5/31/12 limit for the installation of
sidewalk abutting certain parcels as identified in Zones 1 and 2 of the
Pedestrian Transportation Corridor Plan (PTCP).
2. Directed that a task force be created to review all aspects of the PTCP and
make recommendations for appropriate modifications thereof.
1
3. Directed that the task force report back to the Council with its
recommendations as they affect the 2012 sidewalk program in time for the
July 9,2012 Council Meeting.
The City Council, at its July 9, 2012 meeting, accepted the recommendation of the
Task Force to retain 10 specified blocks in the 2012 sidewalk program, resetting
the installation deadline from the previously deferred date of 5/31/12 to 8/10/12.
Those blocks are highlighted in yellow on Attachment A. The City Council further
directed the Task Force to continue to review the remaining locations from the
2012 program and to report any additional recommendations at the next City
Council meeting.
Background
The Task Force met on 7/11/12 during which time they:
1. Discussed the consensus process.
2. Worked on developing objective standards to the subjective filters which
were previously developed to deal with extenuating circumstances which
may impact the criteria based ranking process.
3. Recommend five additional blocks for retention in the 2012 program. Those
blocks are highlighted in blue on Attachment A.
4. While determining to continue the review of all of the streets included in
Zones 1 and 2, agreed that the remaining streets from the 2012 program
cannot be completed in 2012 if recommended to the Council after the
7/23/12 Council meeting. Therefore, it is recommended that any remaining
streets from the 2012 program, not yet reviewed be deferred to a future
program if they are eventually determined to be retained in the sidewalk
plan.
