Monica He&of WSB EngineeX'ng provided a brief overview of the project. She explained that

Anue, it is proposed that additional driver feedback signs and the construction of traffic
calming nodes (curb bumpouts) be installed in conjunction with this street improvement
project. Consi , ction of the nodes will narrow the travel lanes and the perceived overall
roads wicjti, which has proven effective in reducing average vehicle speeds. Strategically
locating these bumpouts will also allow area residents to continue to use Flagstaff Avenue for
on -stre t parking. Bumpouts installed at intersections will be restored with concrete, while
the midblock bumpouts will be restored with sod.
In response to requests received at the neighborhood meetings, it is proposed to extend the
concrete sidewalk along the south side of 170"' Street from Georgetown Way to Gerdine Path
to provide a connection to other sidewalk systems in the area. Also in response to requests
received at the neighborhood meetings, it is proposed to increase the width of the existing 48-

inch concrete sidewalks along both sides of Flagstaff Avenue to 60 inches. Ms. Heil explained
that the width of the smallest commercial equipment manufactured to clear snow from these
sidewalks is 50 inches, which results in some level of sod damage. The costs associated with
widening the sidewalk along this stretch of Flagstaff Avenue will be funded by the City.
Ms. Heil provided the estimated assessments for the specific project areas:
• Niakwa Village 2 nd Addition, $1,083 per townhome unit
• Cedar Highlands 5"' Addition, $1,924 per single family unit
• The remainder (majority) of the project, where complete reconstruction is proposed,
$4,471 per single family unit
