Engineers say K-Bar Ranch road extension on track; council asks about first-responder access
Summary
City engineers reported that the K-Bar Ranch connection is in final testing and inspections with an August–September opening window; council asked staff to explore opening the route earlier for emergency vehicles to reduce response times.
An engineering update on the long-awaited K-Bar Ranch extension reported construction is in final stages of testing and inspection and estimated public acceptance in the August–September timeframe. "We are in...testing and inspections," said Boyan Pargov, the engineer of record, who told council the latest schedule supports an early- to mid-September acceptance for public use.
Several councilmembers stressed the near-term public-safety benefits of opening the connection to emergency responders sooner. Councilmember Viera moved for administration follow-up and asked staff to determine feasibility of opening the road to first responders before full public access; staff said one short-period water-main bypass would have to be completed but that limited early access for emergency vehicles could be feasible pending coordination with the contractor and utilities.
