MEMORANDUM
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the Common Council
FROM: Justin Gierach, Engineering Division Manager/City Engineer
DATE: August 6, 2020
RE: Approve Installation of New Sidewalk:
West Waukau Avenue,south side, from Bellfield Drive to South Washburn Street
BACKGROUND
Per State Statutes, the Common Council is required to pass a resolution which approves the locations desired
for the installation of new public sidewalk. Emphasis for these installations has been curb/gutter streets so that
grading work can be minimized. Additionally, the City had an inquiry as to when sidewalks will connect this
area to the sidewalks on West 201h Avenue.
ANALYSIS
The 2020 program is proposed to install sidewalk and any necessary handicap ramps on the south side of West
Waukau Avenue, from Bellfield Drive to 460' west of South Washburn Street. This section will complete the
sidewalk installation in these blocks,improving pedestrian access. This sidewalk is the start of a larger initiative
to connect this part of the City to the rest of the City for safer pedestrian access. Moving forward, as funding
allows, this sidewalk would connect to South Washburn Street and then also to West 2081 Avenue.
FISCAL IMPACT
Funding is included in the 2020 Capital Improvement Program. Property owners are charged for 100% of the
sidewalk construction expense abutting their land and the City pays for handicap ramp installations at
intersections.
RECOMMENDATIONS
I recommend approval of the resolution.
