Resolution introducing the proposed Resolution of Necessity for the FY 2022 Alley Resurfacing Program. [Wards 3 & 5]

Public Works has revised the previous alley program to better align the process with the construction season and to provide incentive for additional participation. The process now begins alley reconstruction/resurfacing requests by receiving a petition signed by 30% of the property owners on the block face.  Staff will then provide cost estimates based on the following updated cost sharing:

Residential -  25% property owner/ 75% City funds

Commercial -  50% property owner/ 50% City funds

If over 50% of the property owners wish to ‘opt out’ of the program, then the alley does not move forward in the assessment process. This ‘opt out’ period has occurred and the following alleys have been identified to participate in the reconstruction program: 

1. The north-south residential alley from East Rusholme Street to East Denison Avenue between Brady Street and Pershing Avenue.
2. The north-south residential alley from East 17th Street to East 18th Street between Perry Street and Pershing Avenue.
3. The east-west commercial alley from Western Avenue to Scott Street between West 3rd Street and West 4th Street.
4. The north-south commercial alley from East 4th Street to East 5th Street between Brady Street and Perry Street.
5. The north-south commercial alley from West 4th Street to alley end between Harrison Street and Main Street.

The total estimated cost of these improvements is $300,000.
