City, county sign interlocal for S. 90th Street grading and paving; $12 million project largely federally funded
Summary
The council approved an interlocal agreement with Lancaster County for grading and paving S. 90th Street between A and O streets; county engineer estimated roughly $12 million construction cost with about 80% federal funding and the remaining 20% split between city and county.
The Lincoln City Council on Feb. 3 approved an interlocal agreement with Lancaster County to advance grading and paving of South 90th Street between A Street and O Street, a corridor that lies partially in both jurisdictions.
Pam Dingman, Lancaster County engineer, said county engineering has worked on the corridor for more than a decade and that the project requires about 120 feet of right-of-way to build the full section. Dingman estimated the construction cost at approximately $12,000,000, said roughly 80% of that would come from federal funds routed through the Lincoln Metropolitan Planning Organization, and said the remaining 20% would be split 50/50 between the city and the county.
Elizabeth Elliott, director of Lincoln Transportation and Utilities, said the interlocal clarifies the respective responsibilities of city and county staff as the county continues to lead engineering and coordination with adjacent landowners. Dingman told the council the county hopes to bid the project in the next 18 to 24 months and that environmental review requirements had been reduced, potentially accelerating the schedule.
No public comments were offered at the hearing. The council approved the interlocal agreement by roll-call vote, seven to zero.
