Resident urges council to stay engaged as Turnpike Authority restarts South extension planning
Summary
A resident and Ward 6 speaker, Kelly Wilson, told the council that the Turnpike Authority will restart planning for the South extension after the Bureau of Reclamation denied the current route and urged the council to request to be cc'd on design-team communications and to host local public meetings.
Kelly Wilson, a Ward 6 resident, told the City Council on March 11 that the Turnpike Authority will restart work on the South extension route and that the Bureau of Reclamation denied the current planned route.
Wilson urged council members to ask staff to copy them on communications from the Turnpike design team so council members can remain informed, and recommended the city hold its own public meetings alongside the Turnpike Authority’s outreach. Wilson said past Turnpike Authority meetings have offered limited two-way exchange and asked the council to consider additional local meetings so residents’ feedback can be relayed.
The remarks were recorded during miscellaneous comments; the transcript does not record a staff response or a council motion directing staff to take the suggested steps at that time.
