Title
INITIATE PROJECT AND ORDER PREPARATION OF FEASIBILITY REPORT FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF DUNKIRK STREET FROM APPROXIMATELY 160 FEET NORTH OF 91ST AVENUE TO 270’ NORTH OF 91ST AVENUE, IMPROVEMENT PROJECT NO. 16-15
Background
There is an approximately 150 foot long gap in Dunkirk Street, north of 91st Avenue, that has no street section within the right of way. Water main and storm sewer were installed last year to alleviate a street flooding issue. This project will construct the street. The proposed street is fronted by two parcels that would be assessed for the cost of the street section. Stormwater Utility Funds would be used to do some additional storm sewer work within the existing street section on the south end of the project.
If approved, this Resolution initiates the proposed construction of Dunkirk Street from approximately 160 feet north of 91st Avenue to 270 feet north of 91st Avenue and orders the preparation of a feasibility report.
Recommended Council Action
By motion, approve the Resolution.
