Interim City Administrator Pittman confirmed that it would be. Andrews stated that she hoped these funds would be used to update the Community Park building. Pittman stated that the funding can be used for infrastructure related to water and sewer. For example, it could be used to repair infrastructure at the park to increase water pressure for a proposed splash pad. 2.Larpenteur A venue Sidewalk DiscussionPittman wanted the Council to discuss whether the City should start clearing all sidewalks on Larpenteur abutting property owned by Falcon Heights residents and business owners. The alternative was to continue to pick and choose which sections should be cleared. He stated that in his opinion it was no trouble for Public Works to clear all sidewalks except for those abutting property owned by the University and State Fair. Logistically, Public Works was able to clear these sections easily, and the sections that proved more difficult or too narrow happened to abut properties owned by businesses who had the means or equipment to clear it themselves.
