REQUEST: Public Works Requesting Authorization to install new sidewalk on the south side
of Northern Way from Tuscora Drive to Mt. Laurel Drive
PURPOSE: The purpose of this Board item is to request authorization to install new sidewalk on
the south sid~ of Northern Way from Tuscora Drive to Mt. Laurel Drive along
Wedgewood Tennis villas.
CONSIDERATIONS:
This agenda item is needed to clarifY the Commission directive regarding the sidewalk
installations along Wedgewood Tennis Villas. At the August lilt City Commission meeting,
the directive to ~taff was to not construct the sidewalk along Tuscora Drive until the
Homeowners Association demonstrated that the homeowners had been surveyed or polled as
to their preferences. The response from the BOA president is attached which ignores the
Commissions directive relative to Tuscora Drive.
However, a sidewalk along the south side of North em Way from Tuscora Drive to Mt.
Laurel Drive has also been requested and this was not addressed on August 12th. The
elevation problems and visibility into backyards associated with Tuscora Drive does not exist
along Northern Way. The adjacent property owners to Northern Way in the Wedgewood
Tennis Villas have been notified that this issue is being considered tonight.
The sidewalk would stop and cross at Mt. Laurel Drive because there is no bridge
crossing on the south side. This project is consistent with the long-term objective of the
sidewalk installation program which is to provide sidewalks on both sides of collector roads
throughout the City. Project construction would be scheduled for this fiscal year if approved.

Dear Mr. McLemore,
This Letter is in reference to the proposed sidewalk construction along Tuscora Drive.
Wedgewood Tennis Villas is a Deed Restricted Community, governed buy a board of
directors elected by the two hundred thirty three homeowners. Dating back as far as
January of 2000 the board has corresponded with the city in efforts to construct the
Tuscora Drive sidewalk. The county notified the city that they have school safety funds
available that could be used on this project. Money has not been available for the project
until this year. We, the board of directors, would like to see this project completed. In
Addition we would like to have a sidewalk from Wilson Road to the corner ofTuscora so
walkers, mostly school children, can get to the intersection of Tuscora and Northern Way
where there is a four way stop.
We are looking for a sidewalk in the near future. Please advise us of any need for further
information.
Enclosed you will find supportive documents.
