One of the projects that would benefit Main Street is addressing the condition of the sidewalks from S. Broadway to SH 146. The existing sidewalks are uneven, cracked and in need of maintenance. In some locations along Main, there are stretches that do not have sidewalks at all. Creating an inviting pedestrian environment would be beneficial to the businesses along Main Street. While there are sidewalks along some stretches of Main, not all parts are served by sidewalks and many locations are in need of either repair or replacement. Staff obtained quotes for three different levels of addressing the sidewalks on Main Street- from complete reconstruction to slab-jacking and rehabbing existing panels. Scope Estimated Cost Option A Complete reconstruction of existing $740,460 sidewalks, ADA ramps, decorative lighting Option B Sidewalk construction in locations $8,250 where none currently exist; ADA ramps Option C Slabjacking to level existing sidewalks $6,000 and repairing/installing ADA ramps Additional options that could be considered include installation of decorative planters (see exhibit), stamped concrete sections, and benches. Should the Board be interested in integrating these features into a sidewalk project, the cost of Option A would be increased approximately 50%. Staff supports the concept of increased pedestrian access and improving the aesthetics along W. Main Street from S. Broadway to SH 146. Should the Board like to continue the discussion, staff recommends that the Board authorize the posting of the 60-day notice and public hearing. The posting has been prepared in the event that the Board would like to take this step along with the projects that were previously discussed at the May 22, 2017 meeting.
