Alderman Cookson
| thought Everett was a small connector between Central and the Garden that the Great American Downtown
does. Is that where Everett is?
Mayor Donchess
Yes. It dead-ends and then there’s a walking section. You can walk up the hill or down the hill to and from the
rail trail. The actual street ends 50 yards before the rail trail, something like that.
Alderman Cookson
My question was going to be how did that short section of street, how was it determined that that was going to
be one of the initial priorities of this paving project. | understand there’s a PCI index and so forth, but this is a
relatively short street. I’m no engineer, but it would seem to me that we would rather go for length rather than
short pockets of streets.
Mayor Donchess
This whole project that we are talking about includes 41 different streets. I’m giving Everett as an example.
There are other streets that are not short. It’s based on the PCI analysis and where we can spend the money
most effectively. Everett was on the list.
Ms. Gill
Stantec is assessing all of these streets and they assign the PCI index. They do look at collector, arterial and
these residential streets. They give us a mixed bags of all of these streets. Again, some of the streets are like
Buck Meadow is a collector road which has more heavy traffic, it is not a dead end.
Alderman Cookson
It’s fine. It was just an observation.
Mayor Donchess
| don’t think Everett has been done since the seventies.
Alderman Cookson
| Know there are several streets within my neighborhood that haven’t been done since the seventies either and
they are in really good shape, but again, just another side comment.
