If this project is not awarded for construction at this time, existing amenities to pedestrians, cyclists and vehicular traffic will not be able to experience future outdoor activities in an improved and safer environment; and three intersections will not add current safety features for pedestrians/cyclists and vehicular traffic. The existing street will continue to deteriorate causing additional pavement cracking and potholes to form, creating additional maintenance costs for the City and potential damages to vehicles utilizing the street. Field conditions may also change, which will require modifications to the engineering design plans, requiring additional funding and time to address.
