In the summer of 2020, the City of Davis Public Works Department began a street rehabilitation project in a portion of the Old North neighborhood. The construction of ADA ramps and sidewalk, curb and gutter repair jeopardized a few historic sidewalk markings, referred to as sidewalk stamps. More common in previous decades than today, the term “sidewalk stamp” refers to an imprint made in wet cement or concrete. Among the items that might be stamped into a wet concrete sidewalk are the name of the contracting company or the year the project was constructed. At risk from the City’s construction of ADA ramps and sidewalk, curb and gutter repair were some sidewalk stamps from the 1930s New Deal era program, the Works Progress Administration (WPA). The Public Works Department and its construction management company, WSP, worked with the neighborhood to identify and protect the historic WPA stamps and other historic sidewalk stamps in the project area. To better protect the remaining stamps when future street rehabilitation projects occur, it was determined that a photographic inventory, clearing showing the location of each stamp, should be created. |
