Loading...
Summary
Town staff updated the council on capital projects including a ~$1 million Centennial Boulevard design grant supporting an estimated $18 million construction project, an imminent SR‑77/Snowflake Blvd traffic signal, priority Rodeo Road sidewalk work, and a $350,000 water/sewer extension set to be bid.
Town staff updated the Snowflake Town Council on March 3 about the status of several capital projects. The council heard that construction on the SR‑77/Snowflake Boulevard traffic signal is expected to start in the next two weeks and that the Rodeo Road sidewalk project is a top priority, designed to improve drainage and safety and funded in part with grants. Staff said they are applying for an LTAP grant for Safe Routes to School funding to support additional sidewalks and a traffic signal.
Project highlights included near‑ready cost estimates for 7th South and 2nd East, a 350‑foot initial design for Porter Road that will be ready for approval within about a month, profiling and aggregate base work on the Rodeo Road/Centennial extension, and a water and sewer line extension for the "Belly Button" development—estimated at roughly $350,000 and to be funded by parcel owners but fronted by the town and going out to bid. For Centennial Boulevard, staff said the town has a design grant of roughly $1 million and estimated overall construction costs at about $18 million.
Councilmember Mark Sheen praised Town Manager Brian Richards for turning numerous road requests into actionable projects. Staff did not present final construction contracts or bid awards at the meeting; next steps are final cost estimates and bid processes as appropriate.
