RECOMMENDATION:
Recommendation
Authorize the Town Manager to execute an IGA between the Town of Paradise Valley and the City of Phoenix for sidewalk improvements along Lincoln Drive.
Background
SUMMARY STATEMENT:
The Town of Paradise Valley previously received a $2 million grant from the Federal Government for the installation of a new meandering sidewalk along Lincoln Drive. Part of the sidewalk project, along the western town limits, directly abuts the City of Phoenix’s right-of-way, see the attached project map (Attachment A).
In order to provide a meandering detached sidewalk along the north side of Lincoln Drive, the town approached the City of Phoenix to request permission to install the sidewalk within their right-of-way. The Town and the City of Phoenix desire to enter into an Intergovernmental Agreement (Attachment B) related to sidewalk improvements for the betterment of the project and to provide pedestrian access to our residents.
The Town will oversee all aspects of the project including the design and construction. The IGA does not require either party to pay the other for any portion of the project, although it does require the Town to maintain the sidewalk and storm drainage improvements it is placing within the City of Phoenix’s right-of-way. The City of Phoenix will consider this IGA at their June 22nd City Council Meeting.
BUDGETARY IMPACT:
Approval of this IGA will have no immediate impact to the town budget.
