Bridwell asked if the City could put a sidewalk on the west side of Crawford St. in hopes of alleviating some of the congestion when school lets out. Dan advised that the school is good about asking for assistance if needed and they have not approached us about it so they probably do not think it would help significantly.
 
Menghini asked what the status was on the bump in the road on Cayuga on the north end of the overpass. Dan advised that due to other problems, Heckert Construction who was going to do the grinding on it, had been delayed. It has been offered to another contractor and whoever has time first will repair the road.
