Mr, Glen Taylor, Public Works Director gave a report an the cost of
asphalt walkways and concrete ones. The estimated cost of asphalt
would $1,425.00 per 520 l.f. and for concrete wag $1,150.00 for the
sa ,f_ oot@ge. The vost of the concrete forms that would be reusable
-1,q_$i4,000.00.= The plans are for.cdncrete curb, gutter and sidewalk

Reed and Fepton (north), West,sioe of High Court between West 35 andn Rvenuea and the ngrtH side p~ I~it 3t'Avenue between Youngfteld
ana HOllank Streets. _
Alderman Howard stated it is nmi faii,. to put in curb and gutter (at
the cornersY because many people have in the past paid for their own.
Alderman Turner stated that historically the responsibility of curb
and gutter placement had been the property owners and it's an increase
Yt~q-'-the value of the property. On the project on West-32 Avenue within
3
bineks an individual has been required to put in curb, gutter and
sidewalk by the City. Che hap been told by an attarney that the City w
could -be awed for providing something arbitrarily-,# one person which
another has been required to pay fdr. She stated that the new walkway
should match the existing one, and objected to going around the corner
with curb which would cause erosion, and that the end could be-,graduated
instead of stubbed off rquestioned Ehs prices presented and that
labor was given as the same amount for both kinds of walkways, and she
felt that there is more labor involved in Concrete She recommended
theft- the property owners be cgtacted by the City to aee if they "would
like to go along with the City program for providing these things.' _
She alas asked if the existing_walkway would remain, or wouldit be
replaced: Mr. Taylor said it would only be placed where it does not exist.

--sothat the pedestrian can stand and be protected.

wanted to do in tpaix respective Wards, but where it is determined
there,is a hpiard-Eras such as lest 32 Avenue, t4b City should put in
walkways, and if tpe people are assessed they could sue the City for
being arbitrary _for .a" ling out them for an assesemant. She recommended
that where there is existing curb and gutter on the cross streets, then
curb and gutter could be put in.
Aldermen_Merkl recommended that a cost estimate pri his recommendation Y
of-Widening, and overlaying the streets and. then striping them for
walkways be made.
Mr. Taylor stated that concrete walkways would be quicker, and there
is more labor but the equipment needed is less than for asphalt.
Asphalt walkways need cpn'~inual maintenance -and would lest 5 to 10 years,
r`£~nd the life of concrete is 15 to 25 years.
