City staff reports progress on stormwater and street projects; roundabout bids due in September
Summary
Staff told council that phase 2 of the city stormwater improvements is complete and phase 1 continues; Randall Street crossings are being replaced with reinforced concrete and the 85th & Broadway roundabout is on schedule for bid advertisement in September with construction likely spring 2027.
City staff reported steady progress on multiple infrastructure projects at the July 28 Park City Council meeting, highlighting stormwater improvements, full-depth reclamation street projects and the 85th & Broadway roundabout.
"The city stormwater improvement project continues to make steady progress," staff said, noting that phase 2 is complete and work is focused on Randall Street, where reinforced concrete box structures and a concrete driving surface are being installed rather than asphalt. Staff said the concrete option requires more time now but will provide a more durable, lower-maintenance solution for the city. The presentation listed similar work planned on Evanston and East Parkview Streets.
During Q&A, council members pressed staff on timelines and detour plans. Staff estimated that replacement of the hydraulic crossing near Randall could take about "6 to 8 weeks" once work starts and said Randall will serve as a detour while the crossing is removed and replaced. Staff also described recent curb and gutter work on Independence in Cloverdale and a preconstruction meeting for full-depth reclamation on Bridal Street.
The roundabout project at 85th and Broadway is proceeding on schedule, staff said, with utility relocation work by Kansas Gas and AT&T underway and bid advertisement planned for September. Construction was described as unlikely to begin before spring 2027 to reduce winter impacts on traffic, schools and businesses. Staff said the project has an 80/20 cost-share with WAMPO and that the city will be responsible for approximately 20 percent of the total project cost.
The council did not take additional direction on these projects during the report, but asked staff to continue providing schedule updates and to coordinate detour and emergency access planning as work moves forward.
