He stated that they have related the following information to them: 1. The curbing in this whole section of town is old; it was installed by the W.P.A. program prior to 1940, and is in a serious state of decomposition. 2. There is nothing that can be done to repair the existing curb from a maintenance standpoint. 3. The only curb replacement construction techniques the Street/Park Superintendent is aware of require removing a four to six foot section of the street for installation of a new curb and gutter. 4. The sidewalks in this section of town are, for the most part, due for replacement. Phil Hals stated that a major assessment project would be necessary to correct the problem at this point. It was the consensus of the City Council to discuss this issue at a later date. e 3.6.
