Bellevue Avenue Sidewalks:
We've been discussing the deplorable condition of the deteriorated chip-seal surface of the Bellevue sidewalks for years but nothing has been done. It makes me wonder if the City Council members have ever actually tried to walk on Bellevue. This is the premier tourist area in the City and we encourage walking, yet the walking surface is so difficult and dangerous that many people, including those pushing baby carriages walk in the street. The condition also violates ADA and the City could be sued by an aggrieved elderly or disabled resident or visitor. ADA aside, the City Council should recognize the importance of providing a comfortable and safe walking surface for residents and visitors. The City should make the repair/resurfacing of the Bellevue sidewalks a priority. Whatever is done must be historically appropriate, but maintainable. Some options are brick pavers, a proper redo of the chip-seal possibly with smaller aggregate, or regular bituminous (asphalt) paving with a light color aggregate that will be exposed over time. Stone dust could be added on the surface to 'age' the initial look of the black asphalt. I think we can come up with good options and do some sample areas. But we have to get it into the City budget.

I absolutely agree that the Bellevue Avenue sidewalks need to be redone! They are not only extremely uncomfortable to walk along, even in good tennis shoes, but also very dangerous for many pedestrians and joggers. If Newport wants to maintain status as a world class tourist destination, i.e. the improvements of Gilded Age mansions by the Preservation Society of Newport County, then the Bellevue Avenue sidewalks must be improved. This is an investment in the future of Newport and can't be taken lightly. I have been advocating for years about the need to improve Bellevue, including repairs to the constantly broken pedestrian cross-walk signals. Which, by the way still only partially work even though I was assured they had been repaired multiple times. - Please help repair the Bellevue Avenue sidewalks, it is the most important pedestrian walkway in Newport - because although one might think "wouldn't people rather take a car or bus to visit the mansions?" - my answer is no, because the point of coming here is to slow down for a few days, relax and enjoy a pace of life once primarily experienced on foot in conversation with friends and family. That is the point of this great city. Let's not ruin that experience for generations to come by being the generation who dropped the ball and failed to maintain the city's most basic infrastructure. - Rob

Can the Preservation Society and possibly Salve be 'encouraged' to contribute to the Bellevue sidewalk repair/reconstruction in lieu of taxes?

I understand that the engineering department is studying the issue and trying to get repairs/reconstruction into the budget.
I would encourage them to coordinate with the Bellevue Ochre Point Neighborhood Association (BOPNA) and Save Our Streetscapes (SOS) on possible materials solutions. Plain concrete would not be appropriate.

I agree.

This matter has been referred to the Engineering Dept. The level of repairs needed will require this work to be placed out to bid for contractor repairs. Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention.
