BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The section of Pine Street described above is located within Zone A of the Downtown Lodi Business Partnership Improvement Area (see attached map). The condition of the sidewalk and alley entrance has deteriorated, causing unsightly cracks and uneven surfaces. Additionally, there are two old, unstable basement access doors within the project area. These doors, along with the uneven sidewalk surface, pose a tripping hazard to patrons walking along the sidewalk. Since completion of the Downtown Revitalization, the City has progressively continued to improve sidewalk and basement access conditions in the downtown core, as funds have permitted. Street reconstruction and tree well installation was completed several years ago along this block. The north sidewalk east of the alley was replaced in 2000, in conjunction with the remodel of an adjacent building. This project will complete the reconstruction of the north side. To enhance the appearance of this downtown street and protect the City from liability associated with trip hazards, staff recommends that Council approve the plans and specifications, authorize advertisement for bids, and authorize the City Manager to award the construction contract. The plans and specifications are on file in the Public Works Department.
