Title
Public Hearing to receive input on the Maud Robinson Sidewalk Project
Body
EXPLANATION AND SUMMARY:
Former Councilmember Maud Robinson, who passed away in March of 2019 just shy of her 97th birthday, left the bulk of her estate to the Town of Vienna for the specific purpose of building sidewalks, over a five-year period, in areas where they aren't already planned or likely to be funded through grants or new construction.
The Town of Vienna is identifying streets, where curb and gutter already exists, on which sidewalks may be installed. The potential streets to be considered are below with staff recommendations for locations (cost estimates listed below are design only):

* Even side of Blackstone Terrace NW from Lawyers Road NW to Holmes Drive NW- $40,000
* Odd side of Charles Street SE from Locust Street SE to Branch Road SE- $25,000
* Both sides of Cherry Circle SW from Cul-de-sac to Cottage St SW- $30,000
* West side of Elmar Drive SE/SW from Park Street SE to Desale Street SW- $60,000
* Odd side of Oak Street SW from Center Street S to Birch Street SW- $70,000
* Both sides of Symphony Circle SW from Cul-de-sac to Melody Lane SW- $65,000
* Odd side of Timber Lane SW from Tapawingo Road SW to Harmony Drive SW- $50,000

Additionally, two open house style meetings were held for each project between February 16, 2021 and March 4, 2021.
