Title

INITIATE PROJECT AND ORDER PREPARATION OF FEASIBILITY REPORT FOR THE 2020 STREET RECONSTRUCTIONS - AREA 2, IMPROVEMENT PROJECT NO. 19-18

 

Background

At the September 16, 2019 City Council workshop, staff brought forward a list of proposed projects for the 2020 Pavement Management Program (PMP).  The 2020 Street Reconstructions - Area 2 project consists of reconstruction of the following streets:

 

                     Taylor Street from 129th Avenue to 132nd Lane

                     Pierce Street from Taylor Street to 132nd Lane

                     Lincoln Street from 131st Lane to 132nd Lane

                     Johnson Street from 131st Lane to 132nd Lane

                     129th Lane from Polk Street to Taylor Street

                     131st Lane from Lincoln Street to Central Avenue

                     132nd Avenue from Jonson Street to Central Avenue

                     132nd Lane from Taylor Street to Central Avenue

 

The streets are all residential streets with concrete curb and gutter which have reached the end of their service lives.  The proposed project would fully reconstruct all of the streets in 2020.

 

If approved, this Resolution initiates the proposed 2020 Street Reconstructions - Area 2 and orders the preparation of a feasibility report.
