Council approves A.W. Willis/N.4th intersection improvements and bond after developer-funded explanation
Summary
Council removed item 8 from the consent agenda for discussion, heard from engineering staff that the intersection and signal work are tied to St. Jude construction and will be funded by the developer, then approved the engineering plans and bond acceptance.
Council members questioned item 8 — engineering plans for the intersection of A.W. Willis Avenue and North 4th Street and acceptance of bond security (contract 5,499) — after it was removed from the consent agenda.
Officials from the city engineering division and consultant Kimley-Horn explained the scope: the project includes intersection improvements and installation of a traffic signal to serve ongoing construction at the St. Jude property. Greg Dodson of the engineering division indicated the improvements are needed to accommodate the development; consultant Robert Torak said the traffic signal would be installed in accordance with ongoing construction and that the developer would pay for the installation as part of site improvements.
After the exchange, Vice Chair Carlisle moved the item to the floor and the council approved the resolution and accepted the bond by recorded vote.
