Proposed Southside Corridor Program
Supt. Dingman presented the proposed Southside Corridor. Program as des-
cribed in the following letter:
"To: Rosalind Williams
From: Robert 0. Dingman
Re: Southside Corridor Program
Date: January 26, 1979
3 )261
At a meeting with you and Leonard Mirin we discussed the project and came
to the following conclusions:
The corridor consists of South Plain Street from Elmira Road to West State
Street; North Plain Street from West State Street to Cascadilla Street;
Third Street from Cascadilla Street to Hancock Street; and Hancock Street
from Third Street to Lake.* It also includes West Court Street from North
Plain Street to North Albany Street, and North Albany Street from West
Court Street to West State Street. A proposed future extension of the
corridor system would be West State Street from Geneva Street to Meadow
Street. The portions of the corridor to receive attention in 1979 by the
Department of Public Works are South Plain Street from North Titus Avenue
to West Green Street; West Clinton Street from South Plain Street to South
Geneva Street; and South Geneva Street from West Clinton Street to West
State Street.
In this corridor the following public improvements are to receive attention:
Street lighting
Curb and gutter
Sidewalks adjacent to public buildings and at street intersections
Street trees
Street furniture
Wheelchair ramps at all intersections
Repair of tree lawn adjacent to publicly -owned properties
Storm drainage - (2/1 - I told Roz Williams that Storm drain in Plain
from Cleveland to Clinton would cost $8,000.)
We agreed that it is unknown what intensity of street lighting is appropriate
I shall request NYSEEIG to light at least two blocks at one candle power so
that we can determine whether this has -public acceptance. We will request
high pressure sodium lighting. The street lighting will be mounted, as at
present, on wood poles which already carry other utilities.
We will repair curb and gutter as necessary. Mr. Mirin will prepare a
sketch showing the locations of curb and gutter he feels need replacement.
The Department of Duh Works,:
c will also field -check i locatior.s . We will
repair the sidewalk as necessary in`fr.ont of all publicly -owned properties,
' including the Southside Center, and also including any necessary work at
*It also includes West Clinton Street from South Plain Street to South
Geneva. Street, and South Geneva Street from West Clinton Street to,West
State Street.
intersections: Mr. Mirin will furnish details of his sidewalk proposals
at thie Southside Center and at any other location where special treatment
is required. Mr. Mirin will furnish a list of locations and materials for
street tree planting. Existing street trees to be removed will be reloca-
ted by the department in off-site locations on other city property where
their survival will not be critical. In selecting street trees and pres-
cribing the method of planting, Mr. Mirin will seek the counsel of Parks;
Supervisor Lynch. The location of the street trees will. be -checked to
determine whether there are underground facilities. The street trees list
should be available to the department in early March for spring planting.
Mr. Mirin will provide us with sketches, designs and locations for street
furniture.
Wheelchair ramps will be designed at all intersections. We agreed that
the south side of Green Street at Cayuga shall also receive wheelchair ramp
treatment in this project. The design will be by the Engineering Division
of the department. Mr. Mirin's recommendation with respect to location
and/or surface texture will be taken into consideration. Tree lawns will
be repaired wherever sidewalk repair is undertaken and wherever curb and
gutter repair is undertaken. Storm drainage will be designed in South
Plain Street from•Cleveland Avenue to West Green. You have agreed to talk
with Art Pierce to determine what other locations in the corridor have
basement pumping problems. Storm drainage will be considered for these
other locations.
•
Implementation of the street tree planting will be by contract let after
mid-March in time for spring planting. This is our closest time constraint,
and should receive early attention. Repair of curb and gutter, repair of
wheelchair ramps, repair of tree lawn, repair of. sidewalk and -installation
of street furniture:will also be by contract. It will probably be offered
as a single contract and we should aim at a June letting. This means that
all of the information for the contract documents should be developed by
May 15. Storm drainage will be designed and probably constructed by
separate contract (rather than force account). The Engineering Division
will be responsible for this.
Rosalind - I need to know from you what is the correct designation of the
local agency which is funding and managing the project for the city. Who
will make decisions with respect to the funding? What budget has been
established for the 1979 work? What overall title should we give to this
project?

Supt. Dingman requested the authorization of the Board to receive bids
for the street trees to be planted in the program. (See page 4 of the

Anton Egner Contract - Peripheral Streets Project
Comm. Walker reported that Anton Egner, designer of the peripheral streets
project, has requested revisions in his contract because of changes in the
scope and amount of work required of his office. Egner's work was basically
completed in 1978; however, we did require him to coordinate his designs
which dealt solely with sidewalk reconstruction and improvement, with the
street and drainage work prepared by the City Engineer's office. We also
included areas not contemplated in the original contract including, but
not limited to, redesign of certain vaults under the sidewalks. Mr. Egner
'indicates that he performed in 1978 work amounting to approximately
$5,689.28 more than was contemplated by his original proposal to the city.
The Superintendent has negotiated this with Mr. Egner and has the following
proposal:
