Council President Marrie asked, any discussion? Mr. Jerome stated, this was discussed in Finance. Mr. Saponaro stated, in 2014 we had funds that were appropriated but not utilized. These are three projects that can be done now. Doug, if you want to discuss them just so we can have it on the floor. Mr. Metzung reported, the three projects being, the Beta Drive Traffic Calming, we would have a raised walkway to the Greenway Trail. The Thornapple Drive Paving will be from Meadowood to SOM where the roadway has been damaged. The third one is the Southern Underpass is constructed of a series of boxed culverts. The floor is uneven and it's a trip hazard. We have put a layer of asphalt to level that out. Now that we are going to use the southern underpass with the sidewalk program, that needs to get done. Mr. Jerome stated, this is already bid out. It makes more sense to do it as opposed to reopening everything up and going out to bid. Mr. Metzung stated, right. Mr. Saponaro added, and the prices are consistent. Mr. Marrie asked, any other comments or questions?
