City staff outlines Small Cities grant projects; chip‑seal bid date announced
Summary
Public works staff told the council that a Small Cities grant application will include Centre Street repairs, flashing beacons at crosswalks, and a feasibility study for a roundabout; staff also noted a chip‑seal TIB bid opening scheduled for May 18 at 10 a.m.
Adam Lyons told the council staff is preparing a Small Cities grant application to fund several small capital projects across Rainier, including Centre Street repairs, flashing beacons at the Centre and Minnesota Street crosswalks, and a feasibility study for a proposed roundabout at Centre Street.
Lyons also announced a near‑term procurement milestone: "bid opening for the chip seal TIB project will be 5/18 @ 10 am." He framed the grant application and the TIB chip‑seal project as coordinated steps to address pavement needs identified in the city's planning.
The council did not take formal action on the grant application at the meeting; Lyons indicated staff will continue preparing the application and pursue the bids necessary to advance the identified projects.
