REQUESTED RECOMMENDS
Division of
B-2 Public Works Greeley Park
(Park and Rec) Facility Rehab $ 260,000 $ 260,000
The infrastructure of Greeley Park is in need of attention, road paving is needed on the park roads, signage needs
replacing, parking improvements are needed, fencing needs to be replaced, stage improvements are needed and
repairs/improvements to the Stone House are required. The need to look at better lighting and security including
additional cameras is very evident.
Division of
B-3 Public Works Ledge Street at
(Engineering) Nashua Canal EDC-5 $ 75,000 $ 75,000
Along Ledge Street between Stevens Ave. and Patten Ct., a chain link fence is the only protection between traveling
vehicles and the canal. This request is to replace the existing chain link fence with a crash rated barrier to improve
vehicle safety while maintaining proper pedestrian access. On October 11, 2009, a vehicle crashed into the fence
and landed in the water of the canal highlighting the need for the improvements.
B-3 Library Plaza Renovations $ 1,000,000 $ 1,000,000
The Library and Community Development Division worked with CRGJ Landscape Architects and team to create
plans and bid documents for the renovation of the plaza between the Library and 14 Court St. This renovation will
correct a variety of problems including lighting, access to power, irrigation on the plaza and correcting non-ADA
compliant slopes. The renovations will also improve the connections between the downtown area and the riverfront.
Division of
B-3 Public Works Traffic Signal Upgrades
(Engineering) $ 50,000 $ 50,000
The City has over 90 signalized intersections, each with electronic equipment requiring periodic replacement. It’s
important to replace traffic signal controllers, network switches, and other hardware every 10 to 20 years to ensure
system integrity/function. About ten years ago the City completed a major project to upgrade our coordinated signal
system. Capital investment is needed to protect that previous investment.
