Title
Resolution authorizing the Commissioner of Public Works to extend the permit to the City Hall Restoration contractor to occupy the south third of the Market Street roadway.
Analysis
This 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 have reviewed the City's plan for occupancy of the right-of-way and found it to be acceptable with respect to impacts on traffic and access to private property; and
Whereas, The Commissioner 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; now, therefore, be it
Resolved, By the Common Council of the City of Milwaukee, that the Commissioner of Public Works is hereby authorized to extend the permit to J. P. Cullen & Sons, Inc., for the City Hall Restoration Project, allowing occupancy of the south third of the Market Street roadway for the period of time between July, 2006, and December, 2006.
