SPECIAL ITEMS

Court #588, Item #44, Pedestrian Collector Sidewalk

North Side of 57th Avenue from Laurel Street to Oak Street

Objections for the above project have met the minimum number required for defeat, (3 out of 4) but the assessed value represented by these objections have not met the required 50% of total assessed value. Due to the majority of property owners objecting, we recommend this project not proceed.

Objections for the above project have more than met the minimum required for defeat, (18 out of 24) but the assessed value represented by these objections have not met the required 50% of total assessed value. Due to the majority of property owners objecting, we recommend this project not proceed.

CAPITAL FUNDS

Funds for the City’s share of the projects are available from existing Engineering Department Basic Capital Accounts or are subject to approval of the 1999 Streets Basic Capital Budget.
