Council seeks clearer timeline for West End construction after reports of extended schedule
Summary
Councilmembers asked staff for clearer, up-to-date timelines for West End construction after a newspaper reported the project could extend to March; staff said the project will be extended into winter but had no firm dates yet.
Councilmembers on Tuesday pressed city staff for a clearer public timeline for West End construction after local reporting indicated the project's end date has changed.
Councilman Rodriguez raised the issue during the city manager report, noting business owners on the West End need accurate information about the schedule and any extensions. Rodriguez said he had discussed communications with Diana Cameron and asked staff to ensure consistent public messaging.
Staff replied that the project will be extended a few months into the winter but that officials did not yet have exact dates. One council member noted a newspaper reported the timeline might now run until March; staff said they would follow up with more precise information. No formal action was taken.
Councilmembers emphasized the importance of coordinating communications with business owners and construction crews so the city and businesses share the same expectations. Diana Cameron was identified in council discussion as a staff contact involved in outreach; staff committed to providing updated timelines to council when available.
