City outlines 2026 paving list timetable and multi-year traffic-signal upgrades
Summary
Council said the 2026 paving list will be finalized by April and that federally funded reconstruction of 15th Avenue (MLK to I‑65) is planned for 2028; city also plans a two‑phase traffic-signal upgrade covering about 30 intersections in phase one.
Residents asked for an update on street repairs, specifically East 15th Avenue near Martin Luther King Drive. City representatives said the 2026 paving list will be finalized by April and that federal funding has been identified to reconstruct 15th Avenue from MLK to I‑65, with work to be available in 2028. The project scope includes new pavement, storm sewer improvements, retention work, sidewalks and curbs.
Officials also said general services will continue to patch roads as needed, and that the city has begun a two‑phase plan to upgrade traffic signals. "We have identified close to 30 intersections that we are focusing on in phase 1, with phase 2 tentatively starting in spring," a city representative said.
No specific contractor awards or bid dates were announced at the event; officials said the schedule is subject to federal funding timelines and agency coordination.
