FY2020-2021 SIDEWALK PROGRAM
Description: Approximately 5,000 square feet of sidewalks will be maintained this
fiscal year. The City identifies various sidewalks annually for replacement.
Justification: Safe, pedestrian-friendly neighborhoods are a priority of our community.
An important component of this is the City’s Sidewalk Program which is developed to
provide for the maintenance of sidewalks within the City of Watauga.
Operating Impact: The Sidewalk program this year is funded by a transfer from the
General Fund to the General Capital Projects Fund.
FY2020-2021 STORM DRAIN PROJECTS DISCUSSION
Description: The Whitley Road Phases I-IV projects will make major storm drain
improvements along Whitley Road. Currently, there are ditches along Whitley Road that
carry the storm water. This storm water will be put under Whitley Road and carried by
pipes.
Justification: When we widen Whitley Road, there won’t be room within the right of
way for the ditches to carry the storm water. Adding curbs and curb inlets allow us to
carry the storm water underground.
