Council hears Main Canyon Road schedule, CDBG stormwater work and tribal consultation
Summary
Staff updated the Wallsburg Council on Main Canyon Road signage and a CDBG stormwater analysis; the town was recommended for joint-highway funds (about $1.687M grant with $59,100 local match) and tribal consultation for environmental clearance was initiated 02/26/2026.
Town staff told the council the Main Canyon Road project will include profile grinding, chip sealing and final striping, with stop‑sign replacements pending parts. The environmental clearance for the stormwater study has been completed and the state has required consultation with Native American tribes; staff said a request was sent to the Shoshone Bannock on Feb. 26, 2026 and the tribes have 30 days to respond before the environmental document is finalized for the mayor's signature.
The Chair reported the town was recommended to receive $1,686,900 in joint‑highway grant funds with a $59,100 local match for fiscal year 2029, while cautioning that federal and state approvals are required before funds become available. The project design could begin in October 2027 with construction in October 2028, and staff said the town will proceed with design and permitting steps while confirming environmental clearances.
