Projects to be cancelled
The following sidewalk projects are being cancelled primarily because rates quoted at the time are being significantly revised following Council's approval on April 8, 2004, of the Sidewalk Report. These five projects were approved prior to year 2000. Construction of the sidewalks has been delayed due to construction issues, design issues as well as tree issues. Cancellation of these projects would also allow closure of very old working accounts. Once the construction issues have been resolved these projects would be reinitiated.
1. Court #566, Item #066, for sidewalk reconstruction on the North Side of 4th Avenue from Yew Street to Arbutus Street.
2. Court #580, Item #015 for sidewalk on the West Side Boundary Road from 11th Avenue to 190 feet north
