Wyoming council receives feasibility report, sets Jan. 20 hearing for 2026 street project with assessments

The Wyoming City Council received a feasibility report and set a Jan. 20, 2026 public hearing for the 2026 street improvement project after a staff presentation that summarized scope, schedule and estimated costs.

Mister Erickson (city engineering staff) described the work as predominantly mill-and-overlay with necessary adjustments of manholes and valves, replacement of about 20–25% of curb panels, and concrete pedestrian ramp upgrades to meet ADA standards. He said the project includes some full-depth pavement replacement where the surface condition requires it and that the work is timed to minimize impacts during the school year.

Project funding details presented to council included an assessable portion of $2,065,410. Under the city’s assessment policy the total assessment divided by 248 assessable units yields an assessment of $1,665.65 per unit. The estimated total project cost—including optional trail replacement and water‑main items—was $2,474,993. Erickson said trail reconstruction was the most costly optional component, estimated at nearly $400,000; that trail cost would be borne from the street fund and was not assessable to the 248 properties.

The consultant/staff timeline projects final plans and specifications would be approved in March 2026, bids sought in April and construction carried out during summer months to limit impacts to school traffic.

Member Anstead moved to receive the report, set the Jan. 20 assessment hearing and authorize preparation of plans and specifications (Resolution 25 12 1 37); Member Schilling seconded and the council approved the motion by voice vote.
