AGENDA ITEM: Staff Proposal to Remove Sidewalk Along Beach Avenue
between 12th & 13th Streets
SUBMITTED BY: Rick Carper, Director of Public Works/t--C,
DATE: December 19, 2005
BACKGROUND: Beach Avenue is a low speed, pedestrian friendly street that
currently has sidewalk along only two blocks: 6th to 7th Street
(partial) and 12th to 13th Street. Both segments were
installed by developers /home owners, mostly with a river
rock finish. The segment between 12th to 13th Street is
deteriorating and has several segments that are tripping
hazards. Residents have indicated that, if repairs are to be
made, they desire the city replace the entire sidewalk in kind
with a river rock finish. Due to the strong demand for
standard concrete mixes, this type of concrete is very hard
to get, and is prohibitively expensive, when available. As an
alternative, some residents have requested the City remove
the sidewalk in its entirety, stating that it doesn't connect to
anything.
Because of safety concerns, the sidewalk must be either
removed or repaired. There are three options: complete
~'" removal. and sodding (estimated cost $3000), patching only
the hazardous areas (estimated cost <$2000), replacing the
entire sidewalk with a city standard concrete sidewalk.
' (estimated cost $6000).
RECOMMENDATION: Authorize Staff to remove the sidewalk along Beach Avenue
~' between 12th & 13th Streets. If removal is not authorized,
direct Staff to repair the sidewalk with City standard finish
concrete sidewalk.
ATTACHMENTS: Location Map.
BUDGET: No budget impacts. For informational purposes.
