<br /> <br /> STAFF REPORT <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />TO: Mayor Fischer and Members of the City Council <br /> <br />FROM: Eric Seaburg, P.E., City Engineer <br /> Bryce Shearen, CPRP, Parks & Recreation/Community Services Director <br /> <br />DATE: March 22, 2023 <br /> <br />RE: Labore Road Sidewalk Study <br /> <br /> <br />ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED: <br />Approve Labore Road sidewalk study with Bolton & Menk up to a cost of $35,000. <br /> <br />BACKGROUND: <br />Labore Road is an important collector roadway that runs through the north-central portion of the <br />City. It has been the subject of complaints from residents and property owners for many years; <br />complaints have generally focused on pedestrian safety and perceived speeding. Due to the <br />configuration of the roadway, solving these issues will require investment to reconfigure or add <br />new infrastructure along Labore Road. <br /> <br />The 2023-2032 Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) includes funding for a Labore Road Sidewalk <br />Study. The intent of the programmed study is to: <br /> <br />1. Understand and document perceived problems through a City-wide engagement effort, <br />2. Analyze several possible improvements and document the associated costs and constraints, <br />3. Engage the community to share and discuss possible improvements, <br />4. Document a recommended or preferred alternative with high-level engineering and cost <br />estimates, <br />5. Identify possible outside funding sources or grant opportunities to pursue. <br /> <br />SCHEDULE: <br />The study is anticipated to occur over several months to allow time for public engagement and <br />conceptual engineering. The proposed schedule is as follows: <br /> Staff Kickoff ....................................................................................
