7 issues in roads with low priority
Bellaire Court and Glendale Avenue Reconstruction
Parking changes for the Bellaire Court project and ordinance changes for the Glendale Avenue rebuild are on the agenda.
Final contract payments on city projects
Staff presented closing payments on three finished contracts: $30,000 for sidewalk sawcutting, $6,588.32 for pond dredging, and $70,479.48 for parking ramp repairs totaling about $1.39 million.
Overnight construction noise variance — South Badger
DPW got a narrow variance to run work overnight (5 p.m.–7 a.m.) for two consecutive days the week of June 1 on the 200 block of South Badger. Residents nearby may hear construction at night.
French Road paving scope reduction
The concrete paving contract shrank by $160,114.80 because an east-side path on French Road is on hold until utility conflicts and coordination with neighboring municipalities are resolved — but expect it to come back later.
TIBA ramp access upgrades
An extra $67,000 for TAPCO covers upgrades to TIBA ramp access equipment, bringing that contract to $288,209.
N. McDonald Street Parking Changes
After a six-month evaluation, the council approved parking changes on the 1500 block of N. McDonald Street.
Canal Street vacation
The city gave up its right-of-way on the southern half of Canal Street, 120 feet west of S. Lawe Street — part of redevelopment activity in that area.
