Council reviews multimillion-dollar road projects: Lakeshore Drive, 200 South and Pony Express phases
Summary
Public Works Director Sam Kelly outlined a $3.1M interim Lakeshore Drive build to support sewer work, the longer-term 200 South alignment (2022 estimate $24.7M), and phased Pony Express Parkway funding that could total more than $30M across phases.
Sam Kelly, Public Works Director, told the council proposed interim construction of Lakeshore Drive would include a 26-foot asphalt section priced at an estimated $3.1 million to allow sequencing with TSSD sewer work. He said completing Lakeshore Drive would be a prerequisite for portions of the fuller 200 South rebuild, which had a 2022 estimate of about $24.7 million but likely has risen since that estimate.
Kelly also laid out plans and funding expectations for larger corridors. Pony Express Parkway is a multi-phase MAG-funded project with Phase 1 roughly $14.9 million and Phase 2 about $17.97 million; staff estimated the typical funding timeline places the later phase 4–5 years out. The 700 West arterial for TOD was estimated at about $5,050,000 and requires additional right-of-way acquisition. Staff emphasized sequencing, right-of-way work and coordination with utilities as prerequisites to efficient construction.
