Update 2/11/2022: The design contract for the Eastside Paving and Drainage Improvement Project was awarded by Council to HDR Engineering Inc. on December 12, 2021. Following contract execution, an official “kick-off” meeting was held with project staff and HDR to discuss the next steps to move forward with the construction design for this project. This phase of the project will include completion of an environmental study, review of elements of potential traffic calming, construction design and estimated construction costs towards completing the 30% design plans for the project. There will be several public workshops scheduled with City Council, as well as public town hall meetings during identified intervals during the design phase. The first Council Workshop to review potential traffic calming options is scheduled for March 28, 2022.
