Title
A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO ENTER INTO AN AGREEMENT WITH THE HUDSON CITY SCHOOL DISTRICT FOR COOPERATION AND COST SHARING FOR THE FRANKLIN STREET SIDEWALK INSTALLATION.
Brief Description: The project includes the installation of a new 5-foot wide sidewalk along the west side of Franklin Street between Aurora Street and the Middle School. The sidewalk is currently scheduled for the summer of 2026 at a total cost of $125,000. The schools would reimburse the City for the portion of sidewalk on their property in the amount of $28,000.00. This sidewalk would provide a safer path for students going to and from the Middle School that walk to school, without having to cross the Franklin and Aurora Street intersection at school drop-off and pick-up times.
