The full story
Staff presented a proposal to realign the 2J bond program to include utility undergrounding on West 38th Avenue, adding approximately $7,000,000 to the project budget (staff said the undergrounding estimate was just under $10,000,000 and the city currently has about $3,000,000 in its 1% fund). The overall West 38th roadway project remains programmed at roughly $25,000,000, and undergrounding would bring the combined investment to about $32,000,000.
