Hd."--Oe� City Atty City Mgr. On April 5, 1977, Council sent the Scope of Work for the 2nd year HCD sidewalk project back to staff for further review.

Letter from Chamber of Commerce RECOMMENDATIONS That Council approve the location and design of the sidewalks. That Council direct staff to send a Scope of Work to the County for the i construction of sidewalks so that the City of Carlsbad and the County may enter into an Implementation Contract for the release of funds. 1 Council action 5-3-77 Council approved Priority Area #2, Priority Area #3 with extension of the sidewalks from the post office to Laguna Dr., depending on abilability of right of way, Priority Area #4, and Alternate #2 A, B and C as far as the money will go. Further Council directed staff to send a Scope of Work to the County for the construction of sidewalks so that the City of Carlsbad and the County may enter into an Implementation Contract for the release of funds. FORM PLANNING 73 MEMORANDUM TO: City Manager FROM: Public Works Administrator DATE: April 21, 1977 SUBJECT: Scope of Work - Second Year HCD Program On April 5, 1977, the City Council sent the Scope of Work for the second year HCD sidewalk project back to staff for further review. The Council was concerned that no sidewalks were pro- posed for the area near the Post Office on Roosevelt Street. Subsequently, staff made contact with various property owners on that street with regard to acquisition of. right-of-way. If the Council approves the sidewalk locations as shown in Exhib- it "C", staff will ask the property owners on Roosevelt for dedication. The City owns right-of-way in the other proposed locations. All sidewalks constructed with HCD funds will be somewhat of a windfall for involved, property owners. The need for side- walks at the proposed locations is great, however, as these areas are heavily traveled and hazardous in certain cases. The Chamber of Commerce and other groups have expressed a need for more continuity in downtown sidewalks (see attached letter). Sidewalks installed in the areas proposed should help alleviate these problems. The speed in which the Council approves the Scope of Work is very important as the sidewalk project is delaying the com- pletion of the entire second year program. A failure to meet second year time constraints may be a negative factor in the City's attempt to receive third year funds. Ronald A. Beckman, P.E.

CALIFORNIA 92008 (714) 729b924 Xll March 28, 1977 Mr. Paul Bussey City Manager City of Carlsba9 1200 Elm Avenue Carlsbad, Ca. 92008 Dear Paul: As we discussed some time ago, there are a couple of areas on the south side of Elm Avenue between the railroad tracks and Carlsbad Boulevard in which sidewalks have not been installed. The properties are resident- i ial in nature and may fall under some pre-existing code or guidelines for repair or installation, however, many of the visitors to our office in the past few months have expressed concern of this condition. Most of y the visitors from out of state or out of the area do not like to walk from their motel accomodations along the beach area to the village area if they do not have a place to walk, thus income to the merchants and sales tax revenues are lost or at least spent someplace else. i As you know, there are no sidewalks at all along the north side of Elm Avenue along the side of the Twin Inns and would present a whole set of different circumstances in order to accomodate the businesses along that section of Elm Avenue. If there is any possible way to eliminate this situation I would offer the services of the Chamber to work with you and the property owners to see that the sidewalks are completed.
