Paulson, Petkoff, Carlson, Peterson, Nawrocki:- present
2. Purpose of the Hearin9
To consider improvements to concrete alleys, including routing of all cracks,
cleaning of joints, and sandblasting and sealing of joints and cracks in al-
leyways.
3. Presentation by Staff
The City Manager reviewed the project and its estimated costs. He noted that the
information being presented is basically the same information presented at the
March 16th Public Improvement Hearing and the costs being presented are identical
to those presented at the previous hearing.
The resident at 3717 Van Buren inquired what criteria is used for determining
which alleys are included in this project. The Public Works Director advised
that each alley was individually inspected and the decision was made on that
viewing. He noted that previously these alleys had been included in a project
with alleys which needed major repair but they were removed from this original
proposal.
The condition of the alley was discussed with the residents especially with regard
to refuse and dirt. They were advised by the Mayor that the City has recently
punchased a small sweeper which is geared for smaller areas such as alleys. This
machine will be used to sweep the alley and should be very effective.
The resident at 3717 Van Buren expressed the area residents' concern with excessive
speed and traffic in the alley. This traffic appears to come from vehicle drivers
wishing to avoid waiting for the stop sign on 37th and Central Avenues. Mayor
Nawrocki stated that the Police Department will watch the alley for this type of
activity.
