Resolution 19-179
ITEM 3.D.
Council Action: 8/12/2019
Description

Resolution accepting the work of Compass Utility LLC as complete and authorizing release of the retainage after 30 days if no claims are filed in connection with the Franklin Avenue Sidewalk.  PW16-09

Background/Discussion

The Franklin Avenue Sidewalk project constructed a sidewalk on the south side of Franklin Avenue from Valley View Drive to Kingsridge Drive. 

There was not a sidewalk on either side of Franklin Avenue from Valley View Drive to Kingsridge Drive.  The new sidewalk provides a safe path for pedestrians from the neighborhoods east of Valley View Drive to the existing trail along Valley View Drive.

Pedestrians used to have to walk on Franklin Avenue, resulting in an unsafe condition because of the limited sight distance caused by the curvature of the road.  The new sidewalk passes under the IAIS railroad bridge which required construction of a retaining wall.

This project was included in the FY16 CIP with a budget of $200,000 in Sales Tax Funds.
