RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:

$100,000.00, by increasing estimated appropriations in the WJ Boaz and Bowman Roberts Roundabout project (City Project No. 101867)
and by decreasing estimated appropriations in the 34014 Appropriation Only project (City Project No. U34014) by the same amount; and

DISCUSSION:
The purpose of this Mayor and Council Communication is to provide for additional funding for the WJ Boaz and Bowman Roberts project (City
Project No. 101867). On March 25, 2021, a community meeting was held for the project. In the meeting, staff received public input regarding
concerns for the lack of pedestrian improvements in the vicinity of the WJ Boaz and Bowman Roberts Road project. As a result of this input, staff
agreed to revise the design to incorporate pedestrian improvements to improve safety within the limits of the project. Coordination efforts are
ongoing to improve pedestrian safety in the area at the program level. To implement the pedestrian improvements for this project, additional funds
are required to construct crosswalks, sidewalks, and ADA ramps in addition to drainage improvements.

finish October 2021.
This project is located in COUNCIL DISTRICTS 2 and 7.
