Committee discusses widening Centennial Park entrance at Elliott Street; votes to take no action
Summary
Committee discussed resident requests to widen the Centennial Park entrance from Elliott Street to allow two-way vehicle movement. Staff estimated materials would cost below $2,500; the committee voted ‘no action’ at this meeting because the work can proceed without committee approval.
Members of the Pryor Creek street committee discussed a request to widen the entrance from Elliott Street into Centennial Park so two vehicles could enter and exit simultaneously.
A committee member said residents asked for a wider opening; staff suggested a 30-foot pipe or two 20-foot pipes to provide the extra width. The street superintendent said existing concrete pipes in the entrance appear oversized and not well fitted, and that replacing them with a 30-foot section or two 20-foot sections would provide more room; he estimated the materials would cost “probably 600, probably for pipe” and that 15–16 dollars per foot may apply, suggesting total material cost under $2,500.
Committee members discussed whether the committee needed to recommend council action. The street superintendent said the crew could stage and install the pipe without blocking traffic or incurring additional contractor costs. The committee then recorded a motion of “no action” because the work does not require committee approval to proceed.
The committee’s recorded outcome for the agenda item was to take no formal action. Staff said the pipe and installation could proceed as a department work item.
