He said that approximately 200 feet of <br />water main will need to be lowered at the city's expense of $60,000 since the main is 61/2 feet <br />deep. He also discussed the possibility of a sidewalk on the northside of Garden Avenue from <br />Snelling Drive to the school. He said the sidewalk would be desirable for pedestrians, but would <br />conflict with many landscaping and driveway grades. He suggested that the council consider a <br />white line down each side of the street to provide an indication that pedestrians use the area for <br />walking. He also suggested that the council leave the parking along Garden posted as it currently <br />is unless other problems surface. Finally, Engineer Maurer reported that Garden Avenue in front <br />of the school would likely require reconstruction rather than major maintenance as part of this <br />project at a cost of approximately $180,000. He also explained that according to the city's <br />assessment policy that the school district would be assessed for this additional reconstruction <br />
