Primary concerns from both residents and businesses relate to deterioration of pavers <br />resulting in an uneven surface, settling of pavers resulting in trip hazards along curb lines, and general <br />aesthetics. <br />Street Division staff conducted corrections in several areas in which the pavers had settled resulting in <br />trip hazards in the spring of 2020; however, a more extensive repair and replacement strategy is required <br />to fully maintain these sidewalks. <br />Staff is seeking direction for the long-term vision of the downtown sidewalks to include short-term <br />maintenance and future replacement. <br />Financial Impact <br />None <br />Attachments <br />■ Downtown Pavers Map <br />The Elk River Vision <br />A welcoming community with revolutionary and spirited resourcefulness, exceptional,` 01 e <br />service, and community engagement that encourages and inspires pi ospei ly INAMIRE1 <br />
