Fiscal Note
It is estimated that narrower streets will result in a 15% cost savings for street construction and maintenance. It is estimated that narrower streets will require additional signing and marking resulting in additional costs of approximately $53,750. In addition, the Madison Fire Department has indicated that inspections in the third and fifth years following street completion will cost an estimated $2,500 for each review.
