Siloam Springs city board to review street and sidewalk master plan at city board meeting

City directors will review the Street and Sidewalk Maintenance and Repair Master Plan during the city board meeting on Tuesday.

The master plan was adopted by the city July 3, 2018, when the city board approved Resolution 19-18, according to a staff report prepared by Public Works Director Steve Gorszczyk on Sept. 13.

During the workshop Sept. 7, the master plan was presented to the city directors, the report states. feedback was positive and the directors did not request modifications to the plan, the report states.

After three years the plan will be presented to the board for adoption by resolution, the report states.

Designed to address the repair and/or replacement of streets and sidewalks, the master plan will prioritize the level of work based on a condition analysis by contractors who specialize in street and sidewalk work, the report states.

Work on the streets and sidewalks was prioritized and presented in the plan in three-year increments, the report states. The plan will include projects through 2024 because the request for approval of the resolution is being done late in the year, the report states.
