Re: [EXTERNAL] Sidewalk installation guidelines at alleyways

[Bryan Wilson]

Hello again,

Requesting information regarding what is required of the contractors installing alleyway entrance aprons. 

It seems to me that they should consistently be required to install new aprons back to the corner property markers and a smooth connection to the adjacent sidewalks. 

Can someone please confirm what is required of them? 

Respectfully,

Bryan Wilson

Please see the linked video & share with the DOTI Advisory Board & Mayor's Pedestrian Advisory Committee so they're aware that the alleyway entrance replacement projects should extend to the corner property markers & not the back of the sidewalk.

This is worth knowing for our respective areas so that we can make sure these are being installed correctly.

The Right-of-Way Markers are usually 15ft back from the front of the curb, but this can vary on different street types.

I've located several discrepancies & I'm sure there are many more.

Thank you in advance for your help to address this issue with DOTI & the respective subcontractors.

Respectfully,

Thank you. Still requesting the guidelines & for those to be shared with the DOTI Advisory Board.

I think it's reasonable to expect all alleyway pans to be reinstalled back to the corner property markers and for that funding to be independent of Denver Deserves Sidewalks.

Can someone please confirm that's the case and identify themselves as to who is making that confirmation? 

Thank you in advance.

Mr. Wilson,

These alleypans were marked for possible work in the neighborhood.  The contract has run out of money and these will not be fixed at this time.  The inspector that made the marks realized his mistake in how he painted them and even though the work won't be done at this time, he has repainted to encompass the full width of the alley.

Thank you for contacting 311

Hello, Please see the markings for sidewalk removal and reinstallation at these consecutive alleyway entrances along 7th Avenue East of Washington.?  Shouldn't alleyway crossings be repaired the same way?  One looks to be planned to be installed

 

Hello,

 

Please see the markings for sidewalk removal and reinstallation at these consecutive alleyway entrances along 7th Avenue East of Washington. 

 

Shouldn't alleyway crossings be repaired the same way? 

 

One looks to be planned to be installed flush with the back edge of the sidewalk, while the other looks to be installed flush with the front property lines. 

 

What are the installation guidelines for the alleyway crossings? 

(Redacted for size)

Thank you in advance for any information you're able to provide to me and the DOTI Advisory Board.

 

Respectfully,

Bryan Wilson
