4 <br />FINANCIAL IMPACT: Depending on the option chosen, financial impact for the County ranges <br />from zero if the County decides not to provide or maintain sidewalk to an undetermined amount <br />if the County decides to provide and maintain sidewalks. <br />The cost of designing and constructing sidewalks can vary considerably depending on factors <br />such as grading issues, land acquisition costs, land clearing, utility relocations, etc. A study has <br />not been done specific to Orange County; but staff research found that the Town of Mooresville, <br />NC spent $119 - $200 per linear foot ($629,000 - $1,056,000 per mile) for recent sidewalk <br />projects. This figure includes all necessary costs design & administration, curb & gutter, various <br />retrofitting costs, etc. <br />RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends the Soard: <br />1. Receive tie information regarding provision of sidewalks; <br />2. Discuss the issue as needed; and <br />3. Direct staff on how to proceed. <br />
