Ouestion and Answers After the presentation was complete, the informational meeting was opened to questions. The following is a summary of the questions asked and answers given: Q: Terry asked how many of the residents in attendance were at the November 2,2005 Informational Meeting. A: All but one of the residents in attendance indicated they were also in attendance at the November 2, 2005 meeting. Q: A: Will the city plow the sidewalks? Terry indicated the same question was asked at the November meeting and the answer is the city Street Department will be responsible for snow removal from the sidewalks because they are deemed to be of a general city use. Q: A: Would the street reconstruction include storm sewer? Yes, with an urban section, the concrete curb and gutter will convey the runoff to the low points where a storm sewer system of small diameter pipes and catch basins would collect the drainage and convey it to the same general areas where runoff currently flows. Q: A: Is the assessment that is proposed just for sidewalks? No, the assessment proposed is for street improvements which include the street, curb and gutter, sidewalks, storm sewer, and other amenities such as sodding of the boulevard. Q: A: Which side of the road will the sidewalk be constructed? At this point, a six-foot wide sidewalk is being proposed on both sides of the roadway.
