Exhibit: Cost Estimate
Budgeted Item: YES NO
Exhibit: Planters and sidewalk stamping
Exhibit: Public Hearing notice
SUMMARY
This item originally appeared on the May 22, 2017 agenda, but was postponed due to time
constraints.
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.
