Resolution No. 2 - Stone School Road Sidewalk Special Assessment District #64, Eisenhower to Packard
Memorandum
Attached for your review and approval is a resolution to establish the estimated cost and distribution of costs for new sidewalk to be constructed as part of the 2024 Sidewalk Gap Project, Stone School Road (Sidewalk Special Assessment District #64).
In accordance with the City's Non-Motorized Plan and Complete Streets approach, staff proposes installing a new sidewalk to close gaps in the sidewalk network and provide a continuous pedestrian connection along the east side of Stone School Road from Eisenhower to Packard. This sidewalk gap scores in the "Highest" category in the City's sidewalk gap prioritization system, and staff has also received multiple requests from residents to have this gap in the network filled. Accordingly, this project was placed in the Capital Improvements Plan (TR-AT-22-15).
Recent changes to City Code allow for the construction of new sidewalks without special assessment, however this excludes non-taxable parcels. This segment of Stone School Road includes seven parcels within Pittsfield Township, thus creating the need for the special assessment district. The five parcels in the project limits that are within the City of Ann Arbor's jurisdiction will be excluded from this special assessment district.
Budget/Fiscal Impact: Estimated costs for the new sidewalk in Special Assessment District #64 are as follows:
Construction Estimate and Contingency $ 200,000.00
Planning/Design $ 22,000.00
Const Eng/Project Admin/Inspection/Testing $ 28,000.00
New Sidewalk Cost $ 250,000.00
The project is included in the FY24 capital budget. Below are the estimated project revenues for the Stone School Road sidewalk:
