ATTACHMENT I 2. Performed and examined a 1997 evaluauon of the street infrastructure conditions tbr all Lakewood streets. 3. Examined the current condition of side,yolks, curbs, and driveway aprons along street sections which have had recent street resurfa~ing, but still show si~s of potential blight as evidenced by a survey for housing code violations las described in Step # 4. Examined all infrastructure needs and housing conditions along sections of streets with narrow street width pavements of less than 24 feet. Surveyed for an exact determination of exterior housing code violations along 43 identified Lakexvood sU'eet sections containing t 52 block faces~. These 43 residential street sections were initially selected based on poor street infrastructure conditions (as determined under the prior steps). 6. Tabulated the results of housing surveys identified in Step #5 to determine the percentage of structures containing 3 or more code violations, plus average violations per structure within each block face;, ultimately, the average violations per structure within each street section were calculated (Inspection sheets and tabulation charts are on file in the offices of the Department of Planning and Development). 7. Drove through all of the 43 residential Lakewood sections surveyed to determine the overall and comparative weaknesses in street infrasm~ture and housing conditions. 8. Discussed the results of all previously described study, elements in several working sessions in order to collectively determine and select the 25 most urgent residential street sections that should qualify as a targeted area. These 25 street sections contain 87 block faces (whether needing total sidewalk to sidewalk street reconstruction or lesser infrastructure improvements). These 25 street sections were selected from the 43 sm'eyed street sections based on a combination of street infrastructure concerns, and housing violations, as well as a preliminary bud,,et estimate of CDBG dollars that would be available for the 25 targeted residential streets (See Exhibit I - Chart ~fRemdentiat Street~ in Improvemem. Turg, et Area and Exhibit II - Imlvrovement Target Area Map (for Pictorial Representation Purposes Only)). 9. Proposed that the 25 residential street sections specifically listed in Exhibit I be included in the ITA for the purpose of prevention of slum and blight, as locally defined by the City. of Lakewood, block face is defined as one side of a street between intersecting streets or railroad tracks.
