Explanation
The Public Service Department, Transportation Division, is engaged in the Longrifle Road project. This project will construct traffic calming features, including median, curb and sidewalk improvements within and along Longrifle Road from just west of southbound Little Turtle Way east to Ulry Road. The City's design consultant provided preliminary right-of-way acquisition costs estimates of $150,000.00. This legislation encumbers $150,000.00 for right-of-way acquisition for the Longrifle Road project. It also authorizes the City Attorney's Office, Real Estate Division, to hire professional services relative to the acquisition of the necessary right-of-way, to negotiate with the property owners and to expend the funds required to acquire the necessary right-of-way to allow constructon of this project to begin in late summer 2007.
Fiscal Impact: Monies in the amount of $150,000.00 are budgeted and available within the Transportation Division's 2005 Capital Improvement Budget in the 1995, 1999, 2004 Voted Streets and Highways Fund in the arterial street rehabilitation project to pay for these costs.
Emergency action is requested to allow the Real Estate Division to proceed with those actions that will enable the City to acquire the necessary right-of-way by June 1, 2007 to keep this project on schedule.
