Sidewalk Improvements1. The existing 2.5 foot wide grass strip between the curb and the existing

sidewalk will be filled with new concrete sidewalk for a total concrete width of 7.5 feet. The outer 6 inches will be beveled to the top of the existing curb to provide a smooth connection resulting in a minimum useable sidewalk width of 7 feet.

2. Existing sidewalk that is badly cracked or broken will be completely replaced.

3. A 10 foot wide sidewalk (9.5 feet useable width) will be provided on the north side of NW 23rd Avenue from NW 57th Terrace to NW 43rd Street.

4. A 10 foot wide sidewalk (9.5 feet useable width) will be provided on the south side of NW 16th Boulevard from NW 43rd Street to NW 34th Street.
