Impact analysis
Up to $20,000 with the Trails Coalition match for the call box — plus unquantified city costs for repairs and dispatch fixes.
Greenway walkers, runners and cyclists — especially children or anyone without a cell phone in an emergency.
If the call box proves unreliable or flood-prone, taxpayers could bear repair and system costs with limited demonstrated need.
