Another item on tomorrow night’s Decatur City Commission meeting agenda: a $38,000 change-order to make changes to the West Ponce de Leon/Trinity car and bike lanes.

Here’s a rundown of the additions/alterations being proposed to the City Commission in a letter from Deputy City Manager Hugh Saxon (pg. 28 of the meeting materials)…

• “Bike Box” at West Ponce and West Trinity Place: $11,000
• Re-striping of West Ponce between Trinity & Pinetree: $5,100
• Changing material used to stripe bike lanes from paint to a “more durable thermoplastic”: $5,600
• Misc, signing sand cleanup: $3,800
• Additional paving materials needed for milled portion of  West Ponce: $8,500
• Contingency: $4,000

According to Saxon’s letter, funds are available in the approved project budget to pay for these additional expenses.
