Item No. 15-1V
Date: January 12, 2015
Item/Subject: Authorizing Public Works to widen Essex Street
Responsible Department: Public Works
Commentary: On May 13, 2014 the Infrastructure Committee approved staff recommendation
to not widen three portions of streets in the FY 15 street paving program. Davis Road and Ohio
Street paving is complete but 6955 feet of outer Essex Street was only shimmed with the surface
to be applied in the spring. A group of residents is requesting that this section of Essex Street be
widened to provide a 3-4 foot wide paved shoulder. To accommodate their request staff
recommends milling and filling the edge of road and shoulder on the inbound lane before the
surface is applied. The estimated additional cost for this work is $72,432. This action was
approved unanimously by the Infrastructure Committee on December 23, 2014 with the
condition that it be presented to the full council to provide opportunity for additional public
comment.
