Public works previews multiple road projects and staffing update

Public works and engineering staff provided a run‑down of near‑term projects and a personnel update. Michael Pierce said Pat Huritz has retired and Leslie Booth has been hired to support Board of Public Works items. He listed project start windows and milestones: Mule Barn Road reconstruction expected to start on or after Aug. 3; the first phase of the 191st Street widening and roundabout slated for late August; Penn Street extension from East Street to Hillcrest Drive beginning in August; and a traffic signal at Grand Park Boulevard and Tournament Trail expected to be powered and finished in about a month to a month and a half.
