Plymouth Street Superintendent Jim Marquardt is reviewing a list of sidewalk replacement requests to see if they fall within the city’s ADA transition plan.
He brought a preliminary list before the Plymouth Board of Works this week. One request for sidewalk replacement on Garro Street would only benefit one house and is a dead-end sidewalk. He did contact the homeowner and explained that the replacement project may be delayed as it doesn’t meet the immediate needs of the program.
Marquardt will be contacting other homeowners about their requests as he has a chance to prioritize the list.
The street department will be working on spots on South Michigan Street this summer. Marquardt says the plan is to finish sidewalks on one side of Michigan so one side is completely finished. It is the goal to meet the needs of the residents of Plymouth and fall within the guidelines of the American Disabilities Act
Marquardt explained that he will bring a more comprehensive list before the board at a future meeting.
