Item No. 13-295
Date: August 26, 2013
Item/Subject: Order, Authorizing the City Staff to Proceed With the West Market
Square Revitalization Project
Responsible Department: Engineering Department
Commentary: This Order would authorize the City Staff to proceed with first phase of the
redevelopment of West Market Square. The first phase of a proposed series of projects intended
to improve the utilities, pedestrian flow, safety, and aesthetics in the corridor between downtown
and the City's Waterfront. If approved, the project proposes to replace the water and sewer
lines, widen the sidewalk on Broad Street and include aesthetic work that would enhance
connectivity to the Waterfront.
The Budget for West Market Square Phase I budget is as follows:
2013 TIF Funds Budgeted
$345,000
2014 TIF Funds Budgeted
$255,000
2014 Sewer Funds Budgeted
$200,000
Total (excluding water)
$800,000
As recommended by the Downtown Business Partnership and the BED Committee at earlier
meetings, this alternative would not close Broad Street, however, that option could be considered
in the future if a final design is agreed upon for the bus and Pickering Square. This was reviewed
and recommended for approval by the Business & Economic Development Committee at its
August 19, 2013 meeting.
