Council asked for consensus so staff can finalize design input and bring cooperative construction agreement later this year

City Council (work session) · August 18, 2026

Summary

Staff sought council consensus on the BQAC recommendation; if council supports the guidance staff will work with MDOT and the technical advisory committee to finalize plans and present a cooperative construction agreement for council consideration late this year or early next year.

Bradley (staff) told the council the purpose of the work session was to reach consensus on the Visual Quality Advisory Committee recommendation so staff could proceed with final designs and a cooperative construction agreement. He said MDOT needs the city's position to incorporate into plan sets that will be further refined at 60% and 90% design milestones.

No formal motion or vote was taken at the work session; staff requested consensus and said a cooperative construction agreement that includes aesthetic components is expected to come before the council in late this year or early next year. The staff update also noted ongoing coordination through the technical advisory committee for city-street impacts and responsibilities.
