City reports progress on 2022 and 2024 street bonds; Broadway design slated for 2027 construction
Summary
City engineering staff said several bond-funded street projects are complete or under construction, and that Broadway’s overhaul is in design with utility relocation planned before 2027 construction.
City engineering staff reported that voter-approved street bonds from 2022 and 2024 have moved from planning into construction and that Broadway — a major corridor — is in design for work starting in 2027.
Eric Rohino, speaking for the city’s engineering team, said voters approved about $200 million in a 2022 road bond and roughly $103 million in a 2024 bond. He said several 2022 projects are complete, multiple projects are under construction now, and additional projects will go to bid this year.
Why it matters: Bond projects repair and expand streets that handle local traffic and support economic growth; timelines and utility coordination affect neighborhoods and businesses along construction corridors.
Key details - 2022 bond: About $200 million approved; two 30th Street projects from the 2022 bond are complete; multiple projects are under construction now (including 90th Street from Upland to Alcove and 140th from Quaker to Indiana); remaining projects are under design for years 4 and 5 of the five-year program, Rohino said. - 2024 bond: Roughly $103 million approved; Broadway (Avenue Q to Avenue E) is a prioritized project. Rohino said design work is under way, utility relocations (franchise and city utilities) are planned next year, and the roadway resurfacing and reconstruction is expected in 2027. Planned elements include concrete lanes, updated intersections and curb work plus sidewalks, lighting and landscaping.
Statements and attribution - Eric Rohino (city engineering staff) provided the bond timelines and project lists.
Context and next steps Rohino said six additional projects from the bond will go out to bid this year and that the city’s citizens advisory committee and council agreed on project priorities. Construction schedules will depend on utility relocations and final design work.
Ending No formal council action was taken during the address; the city said it will report updates as projects advance to bidding and construction.
