Stakeholder Questions: The hospital asked about a walkway from their parking lot east of Michigan. Rieth-Riley put one in near the Marion roundabout crosswalk but they would like one further north for people heading to Navarre. They also had questions about the pedestrian signs north of Bartlett and putting the signs laying on the ground back up. They worried about the drop off on the edges of the sidewalk, but sod should be in everywhere from LaSalle north this year.

6             Landscape Sod and Trees- North of LaSalle will be done this year, trees down Main St. may be questionable to get in this year.

7             Main Street Bridge lighting- Pemberton Davis to get a quote next week. Will not do the work until bridge is no longer populated by homeless people for safety concerns.

8             Getting ready for Winter/expectations

B.      Clean Man Holes- before winter

C.      Temp Tape- to be removed

D.      Behind curb drop-offs- Stone and 8’s will be in so it will only be around a 4 inch drop. Fiberglass markers will be put up to show where the drops are for vehicles plowing the sidewalk and cycle track.

E.       Planters at the court house- DTSB to move

Reith Riley Construction Concerns/Questions:

City Concerns/Questions: The city wants to make sure the century center is accessible through the winter, with walks at Jefferson and Washington. They would also like the curb ramps that have been torn out for months filled in at Western and Monroe/Michigan. Rieth-Riley will work with Pemberton Davis, and have them finish work in the ones that need the least done in order to be able to pour the most curb ramps possible before winter.

The order decided on for installing traffic signals is to do Jefferson/St. Joe, then LaSalle/Main and LaSalle/Lafayette, then Washington/St. Joe
