Council reprioritizes ACHD five‑year list, pushes Palmer/Nordic crossings and Highway‑44 pedestrian improvements higher
Summary
After reviewing ACHD's draft FY2027–2031 list, the council moved the Palmer Lane–State Highway 44 intersection and the Palmer/Nordic pedestrian crossing to top priority positions and asked staff to send a formal letter to ACHD reflecting the changes.
City planning staff briefed council on the ACHD draft five‑year plan for fiscal years 2027–2031. The plan groups projects into arterials/intersections and a second 'safety and compliance' category for local pedestrian and collector work.
Council members stressed pedestrian-safety priorities and directed staff to advance the Palmer Lane–State Highway 44 intersection project and the Palmer/Nordic pedestrian crossing to the top of the list. Planning staff noted ACHD's top-10 process provides follow-up status updates and can accelerate projects via ACHD programs. Council asked the mayor to send a prioritization letter to ACHD reflecting the adjustments and to keep the remaining unranked projects in the city's project database for future years.
