He said he has instructed the Buildings and Grounds Division to take necessary measures t� trim and remove some shrubbery as suggested in Mr. Culligan's letter. Also, Supt. Kinsella noted that Asst. to the Supt. Dougherty is. in the process of arranging a seminar. dealing with salt. .Hopefully that seminar will take place in February and Board•members, Council members and other parties will be invited so that they can be brought up.to date about salting.practices. The Westmoun.t Drive residents request for street -lighting was i11 - referred to this Committee in October of 1981. Supt.

Request for `Addi_t onal_Strreet Light Comm. Varricchio reported that a petition dated September 28, 1981 was received by the Common Council requesting an additional street light on or near Westrount Drive. This petition was referred to the Board of Public Works for review and follow-up. The originator of the petition has since moved out of the It:iaca area, and a review has been made by the committee on the continued interest, if any, of a street.light in the Westmount Drive area. There is none. Resolution. By Alderman Varricchio: Seconded by Alderman Walker RESOLVED, That, by virtue of this report, the Common Council be advised of the final status of this request. Carried Street Salting Practices Carolyn Peterson of 110 Dey Street, reported to the Board an incident 10 whereby she had helped an older woman across the street because the snow was piled up over the cross walks. The older woman remarked that she would take those hunks of snow any day over the road salt on the roads because she has to get out and scrub her car in order to get the salt off. Mrs. Peterson stated that this matter of using less salt has come before the Board in other years and last year a request was made for statistics on salt tonage, snow fall and tempera ture and the request was denied by the Board: She also said that she is aware that there is going to be a SafeSalting Seminar and she hoped that the public would be informed as to what is happening by way of trying to cut down on the heavy use of salt. /„71f2 Supt. Kinsella said that he would like to take the road salting matter under advisement and make a report to the Board on the accepted policies and practices used by the City. He stated that there are many factors involved and claims have been made against the City for lack of sufficient. salt on streets. alt Seminar Asst. to Supt. Dougherty reported that he had been attempting to arrange for a salt seminar this season, with input from the Salt Institute, but had been unable to do so. Comm. Walker suggested an. informational meeting on salting to be conducted in Council Chambers on March 4, 1982. Supt. Kinsella -will arrange the meeting . /(DISa- Road Salting 5,40/9 ,5. Alderman Hoffman expressed appreciation to the Board for the seminar on road salting. He commented that it had seemed to him that after ' the last heavy snow storm that less salt had been used on the streets. and it had worked satisfactorily. Salting Program Mayor Shaw asked Supt. Kinsella about the salting program discussed at the Conservation Advisory Council. Supt. Kinsella is still, planning to conduct a Salting Seminar in the Fall. Deputy Clerk Paolangeli willsend minutes of CAC meeting to Supt. Kinsella. and Jack Dougherty. CAC is in agreement with the amount of salt being used on roads, as reflected in the minutes. vi 10 Road Salting - Mayor Shaw reported that the Conservation Advisory Council have been reviewing the road salting program and will be asking. some members of the board to work with them before- making recommendation.. Road Salting Policy Comm. Schickel reported that a salt seminar had been held the previous Monday, with some interesting things coming out of it. He said the problems we have are fairly obvious. He talked to Jack Dougherty about it and Mr. Dougherty will put the policy on salting in writing. The matter was referred to the Streets, Facilities, Parks and Refuse Committee for report back at the next meeting of the Board. pApi-';D- Road Salting Policy Comm. Gutenberger reported that Jack Dougherty is writing a road- salting policy and hopefully it will be ready for presentation at the. next meeting of the Board. r5-/apiga • -3- 1982 Paving Program I ai P' Comm. Walsh reported that the Highways, Street Lighting and Refuse Committee had met with Asst. to the Supt. Dougherty and discussed 4110 the City's Paving Program for 1982. She said that there is one' problem that the Committee doesn't know whether it is possible to do anything.about other than what is being proposed, and that is the brick on East State Street. The plan at the present time is to remove the bricks and replace them with asphaltic concrete and that job is going to constitute almost the .entire budget for paving under the 1982 Paving Program. The concrete base underneath the brick is still in good condition and if the brick is not taken out and the necessary repairs made, the base could deteriorate-. The question raised by the Committee is whether it would be possible to replace the brick in the East State. Street area after the repairs to the base have been made. There are very.few bricklayers who still do the kind of work needed • for a project of this kind. .The Committee will seek input from the . public and the Board to see if information can be found with reference to finding someone who could replace the brick, as well as getting an estimate on how much it would cost. The project will remain in Cornnit- tee and the DPW staff will work with the Committee and.come up with som' recoirmendations at the February 24th meeting of this Board. • Street Reeving and Traffic Study Regarding Mitchell/State Street repaving, Alderman Banfield requested that Aldermen Killeen and Schuler be informed of meetings concerning this. He also requested, in relation to that project and to a number of other things, that an updated traffic study be commenced prior. to the construction season to•include traffic counts, patterns, etc. on the streets surrounding the downtown area. Comm. Brown read a letter from Historic Ithaca regarding the State Street brick pavement which is in need of replacement. The letter urges the City to contact other cities who have had comparable experiences to find out the true long-term cost of replacing the pavement with brick which will wear much longer than asphalt. The letter informed the Board that the existing brick pavement was in- stalled in 1930-31, not 1940-41 as the Ithaca Journal reported. The matter was referred to the Streets, Facilities, Parks and Refuse . Committee by, the chair. Comm. Varricchio informed the Board that the committee would meet the following day with Alderman Schuler to discuss the matter. Comm. Varricchio. commented that the Ithaca Landmarks Preservation Commission intend to forward materials on the subject to the committee by March 24, 1982. John Schroeder, 618 Stewart Avenue, Ithaca, New York, addressed the Board regarding the brick paving, making a plea that the Board�, retain brick instead of replacing the pavement with asphalt. He/Q maintained that on its aesthetic merits, despite the cost, brick is worth having, not to mention that it is a part of historic Ithaca. Brick Work on State Street Comm. Varricchio.reported on the initial costs of asphalt as opposed to brick and the estimated .life of each. He reported that the brick_ pavement would cost approximately $533,000 more than asphalt; however the brick would last an estimated three times as long. He proposed postponing a decision for the 1982 paving season in order to get more input from the community. Resolution 3//00 - By Comm. Varricchio: Seconded by Comm. Walsh RESOLVED, That the item in respect to paving on East State Street be referred -back to the Budget and Administration Committee to see. what their ideas are in.addition to referring it to the 1983 budget year to be included as a capital project in the 1983 budget year. Supt. Kinsella presented an economic analysis of the two types of paving, and answered. questions of the Board. Discussion followed on the floor. Mayor.Shaw-commented.that he believes the Board should be able to collect.data from its staff and from other organizations such as the Ithaca. Landmarks Preservation:Commiss.ion, Cornell University, or civic groups and^make a decision based on the.best information they have. He said.he'feels it is their responsibility to do so. Re so itit ion 311. P - By Comm. Walsh: Seconded by.Comm. Brown RESOLVED,. That the item in respect to paving on East State Street be referred back to the Streets, Facilities, Parks and Refuse Committee for further study and report back to. the Board on March 24, 1982. Carried Unanimously Alderman Banfield requested that the Clerk of the Board notify the Common Council that this decision will take place on March 24, 1982. Paving of East State Street Donald Lifton, 925 N. Tioga Street, addressed the Board regarding the Board's resolution concerning brick paving of E. State Street. He spoke of the composition of the Ithaca Landmarks Preservation Commission of which he is a member, and read a resolution of that Commission, as follows: 31 &/)- "WHEREAS, preliminary studies and research by the Ithaca Landmarks Preservation Commission have revealed conflicting information con- cerning cost estimates and life cycle projections for the alternative methods of repairing East State Street currently being evaluated, and WHEREAS,.other cities in the Northeastern United States have success- fully undertaken to repair and conserve brick.streets, and WHEREAS, the interests of the public and particularly the residents of the vicinity of the proposed project would be served by allowing more time for them to provide input to the process and to evaluate the data and other- factors such as noise and aesthetics upon a final de- cision, and • • • -3a - WHEREAS, there may be other capital projects of more credible concern which:could utilize this portion of .the limited -fiscal '82 and fiscal' 183 funds .available; • BE IT RESOLVED, That.the Ithaca Landmarks Preservation Commission . recommends that the City make no final decision on the proposed project to repair and/or repave the brick ,surface portion of the East State Street area in the current -year until the various alternatives have been thoroughly outlined and compared." Passed 7-0. Jonathan Meigs, Planning staff, spoke to the Board, urging them to give favorable consideration to developing an alternative motion on Item 3b, State.Street Repair or Repaving, to call for further evalua- tion -in the next few months of the costs and relative merits of retain __ing the brick paving. .Richard Pieper,. architectural conservator for. Historic Ithaca, spoke to the Board concerning State Street repair, also requesting the Board :to reconsider. Nancy Schuler, alderman 4th Ward, read items from the June 27, 1941 Board of Public Works Proceedings and June 30, 1941 Common Council Pro- ceedings, whereby the Board at that time recommended the use of brick, supporting their recommendation by the argument that the life of brick was much longer, required less maintenance, and repairs could be made more satisfactorily. She urged the Boardto reconsider their resolution on this matter. S/740 Elva Holman, alderman 2nd Ward, asked if anyone from the Board had checked the status. of Aurora Street lately; if anyone had interviewed. residents on South Aurora Street about the noise and vibration of asphalt paving. She commented, "it's the grade, not the road surface." East State Street Repaving By Comm. Varricchio: Seconded by Comm. Walker WHEREAS, the Superintendent of Public Works has requested authorization for the repair and repaving of East State Street by removing the existing bricks and unsatisfactory base materials and replacing the brick surface with an asphalt pavement, and 3 1410 - WHEREAS, The Board of Public Works, at its January 27 meeting, requested public input through various City agencies and officials regarding their concerns either toward restoration of the brick pavement or replacement with asphalt pavement, and WHEREAS, the Department of Public Works has compiled cost estimates for the two alternatives, and the results of those cost estimates: indicate a $400,000 to $500,000 differential life cycle cost favoring the asphalt paving alternative, and WHEREAS, the existing pavement is in a state of deterioration which affects both safety and rideability, and resulting traffic noise, and WHEREAS, extensive consideration has been given either alternative proposal; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, That the Board of Public Works hereby approves and authorizes the replacement of the brick pavement with asphalt pavement in the 1983 paving season, as being in the best interests of.the•motoring.public for safety, ease of construction and timely solution of the existing conditions..

Public Hearng ori Condemnation Of Property at Intersection of South 'Aurora: .and .Prospect Streets =-Resolution To Operi Public Hearing By Comm..Schickel: Seconded by Comm. Walsh RESOLVED, That the Public Hearing on condemnation of property at the intersection of South Aurora-and Prospect-Streets is opened. 3ko? Carried Unanimously City Attorney Tavelli called attention to the following Exhibit A: DETERMINATION- AND FINDINGS—Intersection Improvement Project South Aurora 'arid Prospect Streets The City of Ithaca has proposed to improve the intersection of South Aurora Street and Prospect Street in order to increase safety and to improve the flow of traffic. This project has come about as a result of many accidents, growing-traffic congestion, a great deal of frustra- tion on the part of the users of the intersection, and the City's inability to practically maintain some'of the South Aurora Street .pave- ment that has failed. The design for the reconstruction of the intersection calls for a new left-turn lane for vehicles traveling north on South Aurora Street who wish to turn left to .Prospect. Similarly, a left-turn lane will be provided for motorists coming..out of Prospect who turn left to go north on Aurora. These improvements will greatly increase the traffic flow capacity of the intersection and relieve gas and time-consuming delays. Sight distance along Aurora Street will be improved and the grades will be changed to ease the turning movement from Prospect to southbound on Aurora. Such greater turning ease will be a safety improvement and should do much to reduce damages to trucks and public property that are. now being sustained when trucks fail to successfully negotiate such a difficult existing turn. The project will also rebuild the street pave- ment and curbs on South Aurora Street from Prospect to Columbia Street. The proposed project should have no adverse environmental impacts. Rather, the project, by increasing safety and by reducing gas and fuel consumption by otherwise congested traffic, should have the effect of improving the environment. It is estimated that one healthy and one dying street tree may have to be taken down in this project. These can be replaced, however.. by planting new City street trees. The only known adverse socio-economic impact of the project is that of having to take a small portion of private land at the northwest part of the intersection. Such a taking (1,740 sq. ft.) would include about 670 sq. ft. of paved. parking, and 1,070 sq. ft. of lawn, sidewalk and planting'area now occupied by about 200 ft. of private hedge. This taking would likely mean that the owner would lose two parking spaces in a lot of 127 parking spaces. City Attorney Tavelli asked if there were persons present who wished to address the Board. Donald J. Culligan, 527 Hudson Street, Second Ward County Representative, addressed the Board, expressing the opinion that the City will be creating another "Octopus" at the corners, and will create more problems than they will solve. •He suggested placing a "no left turn" sign in the area between 3:30 p.m. and 5:30 p.m. on atrial basis before going through with the project. -4a- . James Hennerty, 214 Prospect Street, addressed the Board, expressing' the same sentiments as Mr. Culligan. Donna Middleton`, Director of the Community School of Music and Arts, .located on Terrace Hill, expressed concern about the .trucks and traffic, •the school children who walk down from South Hill Schooi.to go home,- . and also to come to her programs, also about those people who come to the .school for the programs which take place every day Monday through. Saturday. She wanted the Board to be aware that there is a lot of activity in and. out of the parking lot,.from both Aurora and Clinton Streets, -which should. be taken into. consideration. • Rosemary Centini, owner of Coddington Restaurant, expressed concern for the tie-up and difficulty of getting to the top of South Hill, and the length of time it takes for repair work to be done. She said it affects her customers. Resolution 'To C1`'os.e Public Hearing 3pylo_ By Comm. Schickel: Seconded by Comm. Varricchio.

Meadow Streets improvement, new curb and gutter will be constructed on West Clinton Street from Meadow Street to the relief channel, Board of Public Works regulations provide that where such curb and gutter is to be newly constructed, that 50% of said cost shall be assessed against the abutting property owners. Resolution 51/0 By Comm. Varricchio: Seconded by Comm. Schickel RESOLVED, That the Board of. Public Works establish a public hearing date of June 9, 1982 at 4 p.m. in the Common Council_ Chambers to inform abutting property owners and all other interested persons about the project and to give those abutting owners who will be assessed for 50% of the curb cost an opportunity to be heard on the subject.

Clinton Street Resolution to Open Public Hearing By Comm. Varricchio: Seconded by Comm. Schickel RESOLVED, That the public hearing to consider curb and gutter assess- ments on W. Clinton Street be opened. i Carried Unanimously orn. 7' City Engineer Cox summarized the proposed project which includes moving the intersection of W. Clinton and Meadow Streets away from the bridge, which will allow the intersection to be signalized; and alleviate the drainage problem in the area about which a number of complaints have been received. He reported that the City had been able to. get an additional 13 feet donated to them by Cornell University in the event an island needs to be placed there at some time in the future. Ted Grant, Jr., representing Ted Grant, Sr., his father, 7 Braeside Drive, Homer, N. Y.., owner of Tallmadge Tire Company on West Clinton Street, spoke to the hearing, objecting to the project and presenting his objections. He maintained that adding curbs would not improve safety, drainage (unless the owner incurred additional cost to drain parking lot into street) or appearance (not in a residential area so he feels unimportant). He did concur that it would increase property values, and therefore increase taxes. Mr. Grant asked if the Board would make a decision as a. result of the public hearing. City Attorney explained that .the public hearing, which is not required, was held for the input to the Board. After the project is completed, another public hearing is required. Mayor Shaw commented that the public hearing might result in a resolution to consider authorizing the City Engineer to go ah.ea.d in securing bids for the project. City Engineer Cox explained that the curb would keep the water in the street from draining onto the property owners which is a direct advantage. City Attorney.Tavelli advised that the 50 percent assessed to the property owner is not discretionary --it is required by the City Charter; however, it is discretionary that the Council may defer payment, allow- ing it to be spread over five years. Mayor Shaw reported that Dr. Reuben Weiner, a property owner invo1ved, called him saying it was impossible for him to attend the hearing and requesting delay until he could appear. City Attorney Tavel:li reported that Cornell University has spoken with the Asst. City Attorney expressing concern over the cost. They are still negotiating on the land swap with the City.

The major concern is for my family's welfare. This has been threatened by the removal of the guardrail along the west side of the 300 block of South Aurora Street during this summer's capital works project. I noted that guardrails were replaced at the top of Aurora Street, but I fee -1 it more critical that with the heavy traffic and the hill's steepness between the curb and my house at Prospect $ Aurora, that .the guardrails be replaced on this block. My other concern is that the city rebuild the stone retaining wall in front of my house that was destroyed when the sidewalk work was being done (twice -Summer of 81 and 82). I went before the board concerning this and also wrote a letter to Mayor Shaw to no apparent avail. I feel with all the dirt and sacrifice I suffered this summer while the project was in process that at least this wall could be restored to A #1 condition before any sidewalk assessment is billed to me.
