<br /> 72-473 -'I submit the attached ordinance and recommend it-be placed on first reading.
<br />This appropriates $1,800 from the Capital Improvement Fund for repairs to the Cradock bandstahd.
<br />
<br /> We have recently received letters from the Cradock Property Owners' Association, the
<br />Woman's ClUb of Cradock, the Garden Club of Cradock, the CradoCk Senior Citizen's Club, and
<br />from Der1 B. Sloan, Sr., requesting that the City make necessary repairs to the bandstand
<br />located in Alton Square.
<br /> Inspections made of this'structure by the Superintendent of Building Maintenance indicates
<br />that the building should be jacked up from its base, all woodwork (floor and sills, etc.)
<br />be removed and replaced with a concrete foundation~and floor. The roof must be replaced
<br />and repairs made to handrails and cornice. The structure must also be repainted. Most of
<br />the work required will be accomplished using City forces.
<br />
<br /> A suggestion was made to place a 6-ft. fence around the bandstand to prevent vandalism.
<br />I do not recommend this as it would destroy the authenticity of the landmark which the citi-
<br />zens seek to preserve. Other methods can be employed to preserve this structure. Fencing
<br />is not included in the cost estimate."

<br /> 72-$74 "I submit the attached ordinance and recommend it be placed on first reading.
<br />This appropriates $125,000 from the Capital Improvement Fund for improvements to the Victory
<br />Boulevard bridge at Paradise Creek.
<br />
<br /> This bridge is in need of major repairs. It was built in 1944 and the concrete abutment:
<br />were repaired in the 1950's by the Virginia Department of Highways. Under the requirements
<br />of the State Highway Department, we are required to make ,bi-annual inspections of all bridges
<br />in the City and they must be maintained to the specifications of the Highway Department.
<br />
<br /> There is no reinforcing in the concrete abutments and these abutments are supported
<br />by untreated timber piling Which has deteriorated. This has caused the abutments to settle
<br />and crack. To bring the bridge up to standards, it will be necessary to do the following:
<br />
<br />(1)
<br />
<br />Remove and replace ~xisting abutments.
<br />
<br />(2)
<br />
<br />Provide new pilings for new abutments.
<br />
<br />CS)
<br />
<br />(4)
<br />
<br />(S)
<br />
<br />Repair several concrete columns supporting the bridge spans.
<br />Remove the existing concrete median strip on the bridge deck.
<br />Repair and resurface the entire bridge deck.
<br />
<br />(6)
<br />
<br />Restore the end spans to their original elevations.
<br />
<br /> Due to the width of the bridge, it appears possible to repair it without closing half
<br />of its width to traffic. This project is included in the $oYear Capital Improvement Program
<br />and scheduled for fiscal year 1972-73."
