Title

INITIATE PROJECT AND ORDER PREPARATION OF FEASIBILITY REPORT FOR RECONSTRUCTION OF 91^ST AVENUE FROM JEFFERSON STREET TO ABLE STREET, IMPROVEMENT PROJECT NO. 15-20

Background

Staff is proposing a project to reconstruct 91^st Avenue from Jefferson Street to Polk Street.  91^st Avenue was constructed in 1966 and received an overlay in 1994.  This street has been rated and identified as needing reconstruction.  It is anticipated that the project will fully reconstruct 91^st Avenue to an urban section with concrete curb and gutter. 

The proposed project would be funded by utilizing the Pavement Management Program funds and assessments to benefitting properties.  Under the current assessment policy the benefitting residential zoned properties would be assessed 25% of the actual costs of the street reconstruction project.

If approved, this resolution initiates the proposed reconstruction of 91^st Avenue from Jefferson Street to the Polk Street and orders preparation of a feasibility report.

Recommendation

By motion, approve the Resolution.
