As discussed under "Funding", betterments are those work elements that may be included in a project but cannot be paid for by the State or Federal funding, and therefore must be funded by a local municipality or involved agency / utility. As part of this project, the City is including in the project construction of a new waterline and some sanitary sewer improvements as betterments. The State has tentatively agreed to share in 29% of the waterline betterment since portions of the existing waterlines would have been in conflict with the proposed highway improvements. In addition, some of the streetscape enhancements in the downtown area (such as benches, trash receptacles, banner poles and an underground irrigation system) are considered a betterment. Niagara Mohawk has also included a small betterment for installation of new ducts under Main Street at Oak Street.
