Mayor reports near-flood event; PropN1 deliveries to require nightly road closures mid-March
Summary
Mayor Costello reported a near-flood incident caused by a frozen river mouth and said the city issued an initial reverse-911 alert but did not evacuate. Separately, staff said the PropN1 project will require nightly road closures for about two weeks once deliveries begin mid-March.
Mayor and city staff briefed the council on a recent near-flood event and on upcoming traffic impacts tied to a local infrastructure project.
Mayor Costello told the council the mouth of the river had frozen during a high-water event, which temporarily prevented normal drainage. The city monitored the situation and issued an initial reverse-911 alert to notify residents; he said conditions improved and a second, evacuation-level reverse-911 call was not needed.
In a separate report, a service director identified as Brian said work on the PropN1 project is scheduled to begin when materials are delivered in mid-March. He said the work will require nightly full road shutdowns for approximately two weeks, with closures likely beginning about 8 p.m. and ending around 5 or 6 a.m. Exact dates will be announced once they are set.
Council members thanked public-safety staff for monitoring the river and managing alerts. The transcript includes no reports of injuries or property loss in the recorded segments.
