Newell P.E.,Traffic Engineer ��--�C�r <br /> SUBJECT: Contract for Engineering Services - Condit Street Subway <br /> Improvements <br /> An item on the agenda for the City Council Meeting to be held on July 19, 1999, is a <br /> contract with WVP Corporation for up to $11,364.00 to provide engineering services for the <br /> design of pedestrian improvements to the Condit Street Subway. <br /> Several years ago the Illinois Commerce Commission permanently closed the at grade <br /> railroad track crossing on Marietta Street east of Martin Luther King, Jr. Drive. In June 1997, <br /> WVP Corporation completed a pedestrian crossing feasibility study for the area around the <br /> Longview Housing area that recommended improvements to the Condit Street Subway to better <br /> accommodate pedestrians. <br /> Because of WVP Corporation's experience with the feasibility study, City staff <br /> recommends that they be awarded this design contract. <br /> Funding will come from the General Capital Fund. <br /> City staff will be present to answer questions of the Council. <br /> Attach:2 <br />
