Light poles installed but dark: CRA waits on DOT, city and county agreements to activate Northeast 4th Ave lights
Summary
Staff told the board that light poles are in place on Northeast 4th Avenue but will not become operational until three intergovernmental agreements and a maintenance memorandum are executed; the county agreed to defer final payment until project completion and allowed an extension through December.
Staff member reported that light poles for the Northeast 4th Avenue complete‑street project are installed but not operational because at least three agreements between the city and DOT and a maintenance memorandum must be completed. "They agreed for us to pay them after the project is complete," staff said in reference to payment timing, and added that once agreements are in place activation could take about a week.
Board members asked about timelines and county extensions; staff said the county granted an extension until December to finish the lights after DOT paperwork is returned and that the CRA had requested an extension through June in its communications. Members requested follow‑up about the maintenance memorandum between the city and DOT and asked staff to notify the board when wet‑ink signatures are received so the lights can be turned on and a ribbon cutting arranged.
