Revite Comprision-Property owner cost

The owners that have frontage along the Downtown Revite areas in the past and in the future have been required to pay the costs of certain sidewalk amenities. In Revites 1, 2, & 3 which were the 30th ave Revites done in the early 2003-2004 period they paid for everything from curb to storefront. (Including Decorative Brick, Street Furniture, Decorative street lights and Trees and Landscaping. Total costs per meter were $948.73, $713.80 & $1412.04 respectively. (before interest)

The owners in the proposed revite on 30th ave. (2013 Budget??) (The last 2 blocks) will pay for the Decorative Brick, Street Furniture,Twinkle lights etc. & Bollards and will pay $450.00 per frontage meter. (before interest). This project is in the design phase as approved by council and will be brought forward as a budget item for 2013 spring completion.

The proposed Revite on 31 Ave. (5 blocks from Railway station to Safeway.) had 2 options for additional amenities -$190.16 per meter for Decorative Brickwork Only or $418.85  per meter for the Brickwork & Street Furniture. Both options were rejected by the owners along this proposed revite. The Bus Terminus was completed along this street and the 1 other block completed (on the east side of 30th st) got ordinary sidewalk and no street furniture. The Decorative Street Lighting and Trees and Landscaping were included. No budgets or Council approval have been given for the remaining 3 blocks.
