These estimates exclude structural and drainage improvements. It was my understanding that the Public Works Department had given these lots a clean bill of health. regarding those issues. The follov, ing is a summ try of 'recommended budgets for renovation of the lots based on the assumption that they would be brought to at least the improvement level of the north parking lot at Central School in relation, landscaping and lighting. Also, an effort will be made to tie parking lot improvements into the impending streetscape projects that will be constructed on Fir, t Avenue East and West and Second Avenue West. Estimates are as follows: #1 17,500 sf, Main and Third Lot $25,000.00 4 2 - 28,000 sf, Eagles Lot $35.000.00 #3L 17,500 sf, West Bowling Alley Lot $20,00(00 #4 — 14,000'sf Methodist Lot $15,000,00 45 — 14.000 sf Old Oneil Lumber Lot $0 Total $95,00tb00 Design and Construction Admin.
