Explanation
1. BACKGROUND:
This legislation authorizes the Director of Public Service to enter into a professional engineering services contract with CT Consultants, Inc., for the Roadway Improvements - 18th Street project.

This project involves improvements to 18th Street including reconstruction of the pavement, curbs, and walks, beginning at a point located eighty-five feet (85') north of the intersection of Livingston Avenue and 18th street and ending at a point located one-hundred and twenty seven feet (127') south of the intersection of 18th Street and Mooberry Street.

Reconstruction will include upgrades to the traffic controls, street lighting, storm sewer system, utilities and addition of street trees. The project will provide remediation for deteriorating pavement conditions and will provide a center turn lane in lieu of the existing parking lane in accordance with the Nationwide Childrens Hospital Traffic and Parking Report by Trans Associates Engineering Consultants, Inc. dated 2/21/08.

Approximately 0.5 miles of 5 foot wide sidewalk will be added or reconstructed in this project on the East and West side of the road and 14 ADA ramps will be added or reconstructed. This project complies with the recommendation of the Pedestrian Thoroughfare Plan because the project will utilize the PTP for guidance. Pedestrian generators and destinations impacting the proposed project include Childrens Hospital.
