Main Canyon Road project moves toward construction as CDBG application is finalized
Summary
Town staff said a Joint Highway Committee recommended additional funding for Main Canyon Road; if the State Transportation Commission confirms the decision the town expects to advertise for bids in late May with a mid‑June opening and completion targeted this fall. The town is also finalizing a CDBG application and environmental clearance.
Wallsburg — Town staff reported progress on the Main Canyon Road project and work to finalize a Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) application at the May 1 council meeting.
The town’s representative said the Joint Highway Committee approved the subcommittee’s recommendation to grant additional funds for the Main Canyon project; staff were preparing to present the item to the State Transportation Commission for final approval. If approved, the town expects to advertise the work and hold a mid‑June bid opening with the goal of completing the project by this fall.
On the CDBG application, staff described remaining steps: finish the online submission, respond to reviewer questions, and complete required environmental clearance. For the planning‑phase work that may be a short letter stating that the town is conducting a study; construction work would trigger more detailed environmental reviews (hazardous materials, endangered species, raptor nests, etc.). Discussion included a cited town commitment figure discussed during the meeting of roughly $27,500 combined for the two related projects (figures are staff estimates and were described in the meeting as subject to final bid numbers).
Town staff said they will return with final cost shares and a schedule update after State and grant‑administrator approvals are complete.
