Council approves Townsend Avenue overlay project; staff says short-term lane impacts expected
Summary
Council awarded a bid for the Townsend Avenue overlay, which staff described as an overlay with limited closures mostly for ADA ramp work; project expected to begin in early September with short inconveniences, and the motion passed 5–0.
Council discussed item 9.7, a resolution approving the Townsend Avenue overlay project and authorizing future change orders. Development-services staff explained the work is a grind-and-overlay (not full reconstruction), includes ADA ramps and minor parking impacts, and is expected to begin in early September.
Staff told council they expect one side at a time to be closed for small windows and that the project is not anticipated to require multi-month road closures. Councilmember concerns about overlapping regional construction were noted; staff indicated Roselle reopening (North County Corridor) is not expected to materially delay Townsend work. Councilmember Calder moved to approve the bid award and authorization; roll call vote was 5–0.
