Sep 23, 2026

The full story

The planning commission held an extended committee-of-the-whole discussion on the city’s streets and highway plan, an update staff said was funded in the last budget cycle and will be reissued via RFP in the coming month. Acting city planner Crystal Nygaard said the current official streets and highway plan was valid from 2005 to 2025 and that staff will issue an RFP “in the next 30 days for the market to engage with us to update it.”
