Finance committee authorizes offers for four temporary easements for Prospect Street bridge replacement
Summary
Committee authorized appraisal and fair market offers for four temporary easements needed to replace the Prospect Street bridge and approved contracting to proceed; an emergency clause was applied.
The finance committee authorized staff to obtain fair market value estimates and make offers to four property owners for temporary easements needed to replace the Prospect Street bridge.
Patrick, a city staff member, said the city needs four temporary easements for the replacement project and that the amounts are expected to be modest; the right‑of‑way consultant will make offers once authorized.
Why it matters: acquiring temporary easements is a necessary step to allow construction access for the bridge replacement. Committee members approved the authorization with an emergency clause so the right‑of‑way work can proceed without delay.
Outcome: A motion to approve the expenditure and authorize offers with an emergency clause passed by voice vote. Staff will proceed with offers and acquisition steps through the city’s right‑of‑way consultant.
