Board weighs funding options for Prospect Avenue lane conversion, delays bid process
Summary
The board reviewed plans and community input on converting Prospect Avenue from four lanes to two with a center turn lane and directed staff to explore funding options before moving to bids; no construction authorization or funding commitment was made.
Board members reviewed detailed plans and a summary of the Nov. 20 public informational meeting on the Prospect Avenue corridor and discussed converting the roadway from four lanes to two with a center turn lane.
Trustees asked staff to explore funding opportunities before proceeding to the bid process. The board did not authorize bids or commit local funds at this meeting.
Why it matters: The lane conversion would change traffic patterns and require external funding or budgeting decisions; the board’s decision to seek funding first delays procurement and construction until funding sources are identified.
Next steps: Staff will pursue funding options and report back to the board; the minutes do not list potential funding sources or a project timeline.
