Summary and Background Information: The purpose of the 2019 Core City Infrastructure Improvements and Irondale Neighborhood Plan “Quick Items” is to plan/build infrastructure improvements within the Core City and Irondale to enhance the local neighborhoods.
- Core City improvements consist of
• Mill & overlay of select local and collector streets
• Upgrade signage, as appropriate

In addition to the mill & overlay projects recommended at the 8 April Study Session as part of the 2019 Pavement Management Program, Public Works is recommending the following:
- Core City: Installation of approximately 10,730 linear feet of sidewalk with associated curb, gutter and ramps at numerous locations south of E. 72th Avenue.

The specific approaches to accomplish this work include:
- Adding identified sidewalk work of existing flatwork contract.
