To the Honorable Board of Aldermen:

 

I hereby request, subject to the approval of your Honorable Board, an appropriation in the amount of $1,700,000.00 for various public street and sidewalk repairs and improvements, and authorization for the City Treasurer, with the approval of the Mayor to borrow $1,700,000.00 to meet said appropriation.

 

As detailed in the Capital Improvement Plan, the City has a backlog of street and sidewalk repair needs and this appropriation will be used to improve safe and efficient maneuvering of City pedestrians, motorists, and cyclists.

 

Thank you for your consideration of this matter.

 

Respectfully submitted,

 

Joseph A. Curtatone

Mayor
