Carried Unanimously s 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? cc: H. M. Van Cort P. L. Cox E. Lynch" Supt.
