Harlow Street. The specific complaints included Me lack of amps at the Intersection of Harlow and
Cumberland and at the pedestrian crosswalk Immediately In front of CM building. In atltlbion, concerns were
expressed regarding Me condition of the sidewalk In front of the Antler parking at.
Engineering has reviewed the area and has proposed Mat a MMI of ten ramps be Installed This reflects a
dedskn M Install square crossing ramps on each intersection (two per comer) given the high tmHk volume in
Me area. Some sidewalk work is includetl in this estimate as well.
