Reith Riley Construction Concerns/Questions:
     
1.       Reith Riley is concerned the overhead structure South of LaSalle will fall into the cycle path. Once it is laid out, the City will have to determine what to do.

2.       The Pave drain mats will leave a void at the header or the curb. The solution is to add another half bock to one side. This will result in the header being reduced by 6 inches.

City Concerns/Questions:
  
The City stressed getting the drives and crosswalks in for pedestrian traffic can flow in the downtown. The lack in activity in the downtown area over the last few weeks has caused the public to become frustrated.
