• New sidewalk, pavement, curb and gutter, and storm water structures
• Accessibility and bikeway improvements including crossing enhancements
• Intersection improvements
As the design begins, the project team will build on previous planning and engagement efforts to develop concepts that best meet the project goals and serve the community’s needs. The project is scheduled for construction in 2027.
On June 6, 2024, the county sent out a request for proposals for preliminary design engineering and professional services using the enterprise contracting process and six firms responded. Through a quality-based competitive selection process, Alliant Engineering was selected and is committed to meeting the 14% small and minority business project goal.
