Analysis
This substitute resolution authorizes the Commissioner of Public Works ("Commissioner") to extend the existing permit to the City Hall Restoration contractor to occupy the south third of the Market Street roadway. This permit temporarily changes Market Street from a one way street from Kilbourn Avenue to the entry to the Lower Parking Garage at the Zeidler Municipal Building. This permit does not allow any parking on either side of Market Street.
Body
Whereas, J. P. Cullen & Sons, Inc., has been awarded the contract for the City Hall Restoration Project and work on the project is currently progressing; and
Whereas, Given the constraints of the site, certain staging, storage, and construction activities will necessarily spill over into adjacent streets; and
Whereas, Construction is expected to last from July, 2005 through December, 2008; and
Whereas, The Commissioner of Public Works is authorized to issue a permit for temporary occupancy of up to one third of the roadway adjacent to building sites, while temporary use beyond that must be approved by the Common Council; and
Whereas, Staff from the Department of Public Works will work with J.P. Cullen & Sons, Inc., so that during periods of inactivity or at such time that the progress of the project may warrant, re-establishment of a traffic lane could occur; and
Whereas, The Commissioner of Public Works was authorized to issue a permit to the City Hall Restoration contractor to occupy the south third of Market Street between July, 2005, and December, 2005, by Common Council Resolution 050411; and
Whereas, The Commissioner of Public Works was authorized to extend that permit for the time period between January, 2006, and June, 2006, by Common Council Resolution 050979; and
Whereas, The Commissioner of Public Works was authorized to extend that permit for the time period between July, 2006, and December, 2006, by Common Council Resolution 060059; and
Whereas, The Commissioner of Public Works was authorized to extend that permit for the time period between January 2007, and June, 2007, by Common Council Resolution 060980; and
Whereas, the Commissioner of Public Works was authorized to extend that permit for the period of time between July, 2007 and December, 2007 by Common Council Resolution 070218; and
Whereas, the Commissioner of Public Works was authorized to extend that permit for the period of time between January, 2008 and June, 2008 by Common Council resolution 071067; now therefore, be it
Resolved, By the Common Council of the City of Milwaukee, that the Commission of Public Works is hereby authorized to extend the permit to J.P.
