Resolution 7694 Approving the Construction of a Concrete Sidewalk along County Road H2 October 25, 2010 Page 2 placed in the north boulevard will also deter having to cross H2 when walking to Lambert Park. Residential properties are located on the north side of H2 between Jackson and Program, where commercial properties exist on the south side. City staff met in person with the three affected property owners to discuss the potential 6-1/2 foot concrete sidewalk improvement. This will require some tree removals as well as a short retaining wall just west of Jackson Drive (see proposed sidewalk plan). The entrances to Vino & Stogies will also need to be reconstructed. All property owners unanimously are in favor of the sidewalk improvement. The estimated cost to construct the sidewalk is $20,000. However, with the tree removals, commercial entrances, and retaining wall construction, this cost is closer to $35,000. The sidewalk is being recommended at this time since major reconstruction for County Road H2 is currently not programmed. City Staff and Committee Recommendations At their October 18, 2010 meeting, the Committee unanimously recommended (6-0) in favor of constructing the concrete sidewalk in the north boulevard of County Road H2 as part of the Area D project. City staff and Bonestroo concur with this recommendation. Recommendation: Staff recommends that the City Council consider adopting Resolution 7694 approving the construction of a 6-1/2 foot wide concrete sidewalk in the north boulevard of County Road H2, located immediately behind the back of curb, between County Road 10 and Jackson Drive.
