Thank you Gerald for your quick response. I appreciate you looking further into this. I am aware of the general fund finances.
I think the gravel is a good idea, given there isn’t funding for such a project. But I am sure you will give it some thought and see what the best and sustainable options are.

Hi Melissa,
Thank you for your email and pictures. We will look into this. Please know that the City of Molalla does not currently have funds allocated for large capital replacements. Our parks funds are within the general fund. General fund houses the Police Department, Finance, Planning, Administration, Council and other expenditures and its only revenue is property taxes, franchise fees and other.
We will look into the potential of removing the asphalt path and replacing it with gravel since there is no funding available for the replacement of an asphalt or concrete pathway-sidewalk along this section of Shirley Street.

Molalla Public Works & Councilor Shankle:
I am writing to you as a citizen who is concerned with the extremely poor condition of the sidewalk on Shirley St, between the Buckeroo Grounds and Hwy 211.
This sidewalk is City property, if I am correct in my information obtained from the website regarding Bohlander Field. It is clearly marked as City Property in your Parks and Recreation Master Plan.
The sidewalk is slick due to the growth on the surface, and makes it a danger to those of us who run. The sidewalk is in severe disrepair, lots of holes, divets and in some places, it’s crumbling away.
This sidewalk is a place I run, but the surface actually made me run on the road, because it was not slippery.
I am writing to you to address the slick surface first, but secondly to see if this stretch of sidewalk is slated for any kind of replacement in the future. If this is posted on the webpage anywhere and I overlooked it, I do apologize.
Thank you for taking the time to evaluate my concern.
