The Engineering & Property Management (E&PM) project team managed the South Boulevard Sidewalk Fill-in package through the stages listed below. Specific work was conducted during each stage with an emphasis on public involvement during the planning and design phases.
Planning & Design Phase (Winter 2004 - Fall 2005)
City staff worked with the Gannett Fleming Consultant Team to plan and design the fill-in sidewalk project. The plans were based on safety, cost, benefits, traffic analysis and a public involvement process. The public involvement process allowed citizens and nearby businesses to provide input at public meetings. Two public meetings were held.
Real Estate Phase (Winter 2005 - Fall 2005)
The City's Real Estate staff worked with citizens and businesses to acquire right of way and property easements needed for construction work.

Construction Phase (Completed Spring 2006)
E&PM staff worked closely with the contractor and property owners to ensure right of way agreements were followed.
