Title

Substitute resolution relating to the removal of brick and stone pavers from the public way.

The resolution also directs the Department of Public Works to evaluate the usefulness of brick and stone pavers it collects from construction projects and to salvage and store the pavers it deems useful for use by City departments in future projects or dispose of the pavers as surplus items through the Department of Administration-Business Operations Division.
