City staff: Lift Station 11 benefit study underway; two road closures scheduled in June and July
Summary
Public works staff updated the council on Lift Station 11 — a capacity project moving into a benefit study with construction possible in August — and said crews will close a Pony Express frontage overnight on June 23 and close the City Hall frontage for paving roughly July 7–25.
City public-works and development staff provided updates at the June 17 council meeting on Lift Station 11, a wastewater capacity project, and on two upcoming road closures.
Lift Station 11: Staff said Lift Station 11 is a capacity project required to support continued development in the southern part of the city. The developer has completed plans and established an Infrastructure Financing District (IFD) with the state; staff said the project is now in the required benefit study phase and the developer expects to go to the bond market afterward. Staff estimated construction could begin around August, contingent on the benefit study and financing.
Road closures: 1) An overnight full closure is scheduled on the Pony Express frontage east of the roundabout for striping work tied to a five-lane widening project; the closure is planned for Monday evening, June 23 from 8:00 PM to 5:00 AM and will be back open the following morning. 2) Paving work on the frontage in front of City Hall will be a longer-duration closure; staff estimated roughly two weeks of work starting July 7 and running through about July 25. Variable message signage (VMS) will be placed about one week prior to the July closure (staff said VMS signs would appear around July 1).
Staff said alternate routes will remain open and access to police and courthouse facilities will be maintained; the closures are designed to limit daytime traffic impacts.
