Starting in 2018,the City has partnered with the County to stripe various City streets under a joint City/County <br /> project. Typically,the County hires a contractor to stripe many of their streets. The City's quantities are relatively low, so by <br /> partnering with the County,prices for striping would be much lower than if the City hired a contractor by itself. <br /> The following are the City maintained streets which will be striped as part ofthe joint project. (See attached maps): <br /> • Brush College Road from the Brush College Underpass to Faries Parkway. <br /> • Faries Parkway from 27th Street to the railroad crossing east of Brush College Road. <br /> • Ash Avenue from Water Street to Martin Luther King Jr. Drive. <br /> • Prospect Avenue from Ash Avenue to Shutter Drive. <br /> • Intersection of Lost Bridge Road and Country Club Road. <br /> • Boyd Road from IL Route 48 to east of the Pilot Station. <br /> LEGAL REVIEW: The proposed agreement was reviewed by the Legal Department on Apri125,2019. The agreement was <br /> approved by the Macon County Board on April 11,2019. <br /> SCHEDULE: Macon County Highway Department is handling the letting of the joint project. Striping will take place at some <br /> time between now and November. <br /> PRIOR COUNCIL ACTION: <br /> March 18,2019—Council approved Resolution R2019-36 appropriating$15,000 in State Motor Fuel Tax funds for pavement <br /> striping on various streets in cooperation with the Macon County Highway Department. <br /> POTENTIAL OBJECTIONS: There are no known objections to this resolution. <br /> Page 1 of 2 <br />
