Council hears options for territorial road, intersection upgrades and developer assessment gaps
Summary
Staff moved a Parkway‑to‑Brockton territorial road project to 2027 after an assessment shortfall and outlined a larger intersection package that would cost roughly $1.8–$1.9 million and likely needs county or developer participation to proceed.
Staff member told the council the territorial road project from the Parkway to Brockton was pushed from 2026 to 2027 after an assessment yielded insufficient value to support bonding; staff said they will seek developer help to close the assessment gap.
The presentation also covered a proposed package of intersection improvements (South Diamond Lake Road combined with 125th and East French Lake Road), which staff estimated would total about $1.8–$1.9 million if combined. Staff recommended pursuing county participation — a possible $500,000 contribution per intersection — or splitting the work into separate projects to chase multiple sources of funding.
Council members discussed logistics and the efficiency of completing multiple projects simultaneously to save mobilization and restart costs, but staff cautioned that the county’s five‑ or ten‑year CIP did not currently include all of the proposed intersections and that the city lacks the full funding in 2027 to complete them all.
Staff said they will continue outreach to potential developer partners and county staff, and will return to council with refined funding plans in future CIP/budget discussions.
