Staff reports crosswalk paving, beacon relocation and transit project progress
Summary
County staff reported that crosswalk projects on High and Chestnut streets are nearing completion, beacon relocation and a temporary parking closure are planned next week, and the county’s transit project is moving forward after recent design changes.
A county staff member gave a brief update to commissioners on capital projects during the April 16 meeting.
The update said crosswalk work on High Street and Chestnut Street is nearing completion; the contractor will place the first course on Chestnut Street on Friday and return the following week to finish. The staff member warned that access to the rear of the building may be temporarily impacted while crews bring equipment in and that the parking lot behind the building will be closed on Monday to allow boring and beacon relocation work.
City crews are expected to relocate pedestrian beacon buttons and hardware, and beacon installation on High Street is currently estimated to be about six weeks out. Staff also reported that the county transit project remains "full steam ahead" despite some design changes with the architect and contractor; staff said they would schedule a site visit for commissioners in the coming weeks to show progress.
The staff update contained scheduling details and limited operational impacts; no formal votes were required for these informational items.
