Each of them is in terrible shape for different reasons- some have trees and shrubbery which have died or are diseased and dying; others have little if any greenery remaining from original plantings from years ago. This unattended green infrastructure is essentially an embarrassment to residents of those streets and to the city. According to the Dept. of Parks and Forestry there are no written guidelines delineating who is actually responsible for maintenance and repair of cul-de-sacs in Evanston. It has been understood by that department that neighbors whose property abuts the cul-de-sacs would be responsible for maintenance. It is less clear that neighbors ever shared that understanding. Through the years, residents have changed in those homes and that responsibility- if it was ever communicated - has not been passed down. Consequently residents of homes that are located on each cul-de-sac have done their best to clean and maintain the areas in order to preserve the character of the street. However, the years of wear and tear and lack of repair of dead or damaged greenery has left all of these cul-de-sacs in very bad condition. The six are located at the following intersections: 1200 Darrow/alley Lee/Grey Lee/Brown Crain/Hartrey Greenwood/Dodge Greenwood/Darrow . We are requesting $22,789.52 of the NIF to repair and upgrade all of the cul-de-sacs with new greenery where needed, and with perennial plants. Attached are the plans and the costs by the Landscape company which we have chosen- Natures Perspective- to do this work After several competitive bids on landscaping work which the NIF covered last spring –namely the 52 corners planted with perennials throughout the area- we chose Natures Perspective again, as their bid was competitive and they are an Evanston based business. Since this work is of a similar nature we have returned to them to bid on this project which we see as essentially an extension of that original cutting edge landscaping project which began last spring. (Note:that project is soon to be featured in the Chicago Gardening Magazine) Since all of these cul-de-sacs are located within the NIF Area, we are fortunate to have this fund established long ago to address such streetscape repairs/improvements, rather than request same of the city at a time of diminished financial resources for such projects FGIfŠйсї - N O P , } Ž Ÿ   Ё f y д  к cdef{|}„‹ŽЅЏКЛ 4IK^_fopqАГСЧ (./Згоъў(:AЧјэтокжкококвкЮкЮоЮкококЪкЮкЦЪЮТЮТЮОЮоЮоЮТЮоЮТЮоЮоЮОЮоЮоЮоКЮКЮоЮоЖоЖВЮЦhw…h]GOhўF(hКI)h A!h љhХRh+hК|€h@fhњхh/Oh/Oh˜deCJaJh/OhњхCJaJhTёCJaJFGHIP   Ё л м "+5CSfgpq‘§§§§§єыытыйЭЭЭЭЭЭйФйФй„№`„№gdКI) $„№`„№a$gdўF(„№`„№gd+„№`„№gdХR„№`„№gdњх„№`„№gd@fžўЧЪ,9žќјєјh]GOh љhКI)‘žі„№`„№gdКI)&1h:p љАа/ Ар=!А"А#h$ %АœD@ёџD NormalCJ_HaJmH nHsH tHDAђџЁD Default Paragraph FontRiѓџГR  Table Normalі4ж l4жaі (kєџС(No ListH™ђH ўF( Balloon TextCJOJQJ^JaJž џџџџGHIP Ёлм"+5CSfgpq ‘   ˜0€€0˜0€€˜0€€˜0€€и˜0€€и˜0€€˜0€€˜0€€˜0€€˜0€€р˜0€€ˆ˜0€€и˜0€€˜0€€˜0€€и˜0€€и˜0€€и˜0€€˜0€€˜0€€ˆ˜0€€˜0€€ €˜0€€Чž ‘ž ž џџх<вьё#ц<в4цч<вœђ#ш<вь}EE]]  MMee  8*€urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags€City€9*€urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags€place€ ;B]cD M Ч Ъ   MO]e-4H M   3333  Ч Ъ   џџSimmonsх+ХR A!ўF(КI)ыB//O]GO˜de@fК|€w…њхTё љџ@€Ъ Ъ №E7uuЪ Ъ ž P@џџUnknownџџџџџџџџџџџџG‡z €џTimes New Roman5€Symbol3& ‡z €џArial;†SimSun‹[SO5& ‡za€џTahoma"qˆ№аh’,д—:дFЙ,д *• • !№hДД24™ ™ 3ƒ№ H)№џ?фџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџыB/џџDProposal for improvement of Streetscape Infrastructure-(Cul-de-Sacs)SimmonsSimmonsўџр…ŸђљOhЋ‘+'Гй0М˜ №ќ $4 DP l x „ œЄЌДфEProposal for improvement of Streetscape Infrastructure-(Cul-de-Sacs) ropSimmonsimmimmNormalSimmons10mMicrosoft Word 10.0@| о@Ў›5JЖЩ@мТDЖЩ@Ђ\М”ЗЩ• ўџеЭеœ.“—+,љЎ0, hp|„Œ” œЄЌД М фs™ A EProposal for improvement of Streetscape Infrastructure-(Cul-de-Sacs) Title ўџџџўџџџўџџџ!"#$%&'ўџџџ)*+,-./ўџџџ§џџџ2ўџџџўџџџўџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџRoot Entryџџџџџџџџ РF€в]и”ЗЩ4€Data џџџџџџџџџџџџ1TableџџџџWordDocumentџџџџ(SummaryInformation(џџџџџџџџџџџџ DocumentSummaryInformation8џџџџџџџџ(CompObjџџџџџџџџџџџџjџџџџџџџџџџџџўџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџўџ џџџџ РFMicrosoft Word Document MSWordDocWord.Document.8є9Вq
