Pleasant Hill director reports on roadway projects, stormwater work, Doanes Park ribbon cutting and state planning changes
Summary
City staff told the Planning & Zoning Commission about upcoming Shadyview and Sherrylynn intersection and sidewalk projects, Spring Creek sanitary sewer and streambank work, adjustments to University Avenue signal timing, a Doanes Park playground ribbon cutting scheduled April 18, and state legislation affecting SUDAS and Smart Planning Principles as well as property tax modeling showing shifts toward residential owners.
City staff delivered the director’s report with updates on several ongoing and upcoming projects and recent state legislation.
Staff said the City Council awarded the contract for Shadyview Boulevard intersection improvements and that construction is scheduled to begin in about 30 days with 55 working days expected to complete turn lanes and pedestrian crossings. Similar improvements are planned for Sherrylynn Boulevard, including pavement patching and the installation of sidewalk between Shadyview and Sherrylynn Boulevards.
Staff outlined stormwater work for the season: Spring Creek sanitary sewer repair, stream bank stabilization, installation and improvement of trail culverts, and continued intake reconstruction. Staff also said they are addressing signal timing on University Avenue to improve detection and timing for vehicles.
Doanes Park will have a new playground with a ribbon cutting scheduled for April 18. Staff also summarized recent state-level developments: changes to the SUDAS board that remove its status as a technical engineering board, potential elimination or amendment of Smart Planning Principles, and preliminary property tax bill modeling that indicates a shift in tax burden toward residential owners with reductions for commercial and industrial property owners. Staff presented these updates for commission awareness; no formal action was taken.
