INTRODUCTION The City received a petition for various utility and street improvements on September 15, 2004. :\ copy of this petition :is included in Appendix A. This petition was considered by the City Pubkic Works committee on September 21, 2004, and was forWarded to the City Council with a recommendation that a 'feasibility study be prepared. This recommendation was ratified by the 'City Council at the October 12, 2004 meeting. The section of Ebony Street between 137th Avenue and Riverdale Drive is illustrated in Figure 1, along with the Properties which front on this segment. The owners of these nme properties :are identified in Appendix B. Tln:ee of these property owners (representing four of these properties) have petitioned for these improvements pr!marily fbr the purpose of making the sewer and water utilities available which will allow them to more intensively ~develop their properties. There a~re several improvements which should be undertaken in conjunet{on with the extension of sewer and water. The current condition of Ebony Street is poor-and would soon require a bituminous overlay Of the existing pavement or a Complete-rec¢nstructim-t. Second, the width of Ebony Street is 40 feet which is excessive considering the faCt that it is neither a collector nor arterial street. The street has a bituminous berm curls in a neighborhood where all of the surrounding street have concrete curb and gutter.. Finally it would be desirable to loop the watermain between 137~' Avenue and Riverdale Drive to provide increased system flexibility and improved fire flow capabilities. This report will identify the cun'ent conditions and along with the proposed improvements and the associated costs. Finally this report will outline the proposed method of financing for each element of the improvements.
