District informed of temporary easement for Mill Creek drop structure; access will affect parking and routes near high school
Summary
City crews will work near the high school Mill Creek, using a temporary easement to construct a drop structure; the project is permitted for up to 210 days, is expected to start Feb. 10 when contract triggers begin, and will impact a nearby parking/drive area and parkway during work periods.
Board members were briefed on a temporary easement the city obtained to allow construction of a Mill Creek drop structure near the rear of the high school.
Staff said the 210-day project covers multiple creek work sites and that the contractor plans to complete the bulk of work before hard winter weather. The contract start date referenced in discussion was Feb. 10 (02/10), and staff said the city will notify the district before deploying equipment. The work area is located near the parking lot adjacent to the district’s auto-shop area (east of the auto-shop doors) and the drive around the back of the high school; staff said the parkway in that area will be blocked while work is underway and that there is no sidewalk on that side.
Board members raised safe-route concerns for students walking or biking through that area during arrival and dismissal; staff acknowledged coordination is needed to avoid high-traffic pickup and drop-off times and that alternate routes or temporary rerouting may be necessary. The district also noted that the north parking lot may be affected by concurrent roofing work and asked staff to coordinate timing and signage.
Why it matters: The temporary easement and construction may temporarily obstruct campus access points used by walkers and bicyclists and affect parking. The board instructed staff to coordinate notifications and safety planning to minimize disruption during school arrival and dismissal windows.
