Ridge Avenue Tunnel:
Cost estimate of $7 . 5 million was judged to be high for a
7,800' route with depths from 22-55 feet. Trustee Tosto will
obtain a cost estimate from a construction company familiar
with tunnel work. Mr. Cech will develop an estimate of annual
operation, maintenance, and repair costs. Committee will
discuss further when additional information is available.
Curb Replacement Policy & Procedure:
Criteria used for replacement of curb was explained and
discussed. Concern was expressed that much of the curb was
being replaced in front of driveway aprons. It was explained
that the curb abutting aprons generally received more wear and
tear because of the continuous pounding by vehicle wheels.
This type of activity accelerates failure. No curbs are
replaced because of a settled apron behind the curb (this is
not one of our replacement criteria) . Consensus was to agree
with current replacement criteria as identified in Mr. Cech's
September 18, 1992 memo.
Meeting was adjourned at 8:45 p.m.
