Scenario 2 – Six and one-half (6 ½) foot concrete walkway <br />This has the same advantages as a five (5) foot concrete walkway, in addition <br />the City can use existing equipment to remove snow. However, the 6 ½ foot <br />width requires more boulevard space and costs more. <br /> <br />Scenario 3 – Eight (8) foot bituminous pathway <br />An eight (8) foot bituminous pathway has a lower initial cost. However it has a <br />higher long term maintenance costs and require significant amount of boulevard <br />space. <br /> <br />The cost estimates for the three scenarios have been developed. Each scenario <br />has been broken down into two segments – Edgewood Drive to Silver Lake Road <br />and Silver Lake Road to the west City limits. These are as follows: <br /> <br /> Edge to Silver Lk Silver Lk to city limits Total <br />1.) 5’ concrete $130,826 $89,870 $220,696 <br /> <br />2.) 6 ½’ concrete $154,518 $102,339 $256,857 <br /> <br />3.) 8’bituminous $115,755 $81,938 $197,693 <br /> <br />4.) 10’bituminous $131,729 $90,345 $222,074 <br /> <br />The cost estimate for a 10-foot pathway was also listed. This data was included <br />in the September 23, 2002, staff report. <br /> <br />Staff would like to point out that these are very rough approximations at this time. <br />With a project of this nature, it is difficult to develop accurate cost figures without <br />all of the data being collected. The engineering firm of Short-Elliott-Hendrickson <br />(SEH) is currently performing a complete survey of this area. Once this is <br />completed, plans which will be developed. These plans will then show items to <br />be removed and relocated. It will also identify the need for other items such as <br />retaining walls. <br /> <br />Points Of Consideration <br /> This project will involve the disruption and altering of many residential <br />properties. At this time there has not been any direct contact with the <br />potentially affected property owners. <br /> This segment of pathway is not part of the City’s Comprehensive Plan. <br /> It may not be feasible to construct this segment of pathway this year. <br /> Maintenance of this pathway. <br /> How this pathway segment may set the precedent for the remaining future <br />pathways to be constructed as per the City’s Comprehensive Plan. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
