Summary:
This project will improve safety and capacity along Dennis Avenue from Hedge Lane to Parker by widening Dennis Avenue to a 3-lane roadway. Improvements will include pavement construction, curb and gutter, storm sewer, street lighting, sidewalks, bike lanes, a traffic signal at Hedge Lane and all other work necessary to complete the project.
At this time, staff is requesting funding for the design phase only. A request for full project authorization will be presented to the Council following adoption of the 2027-2031 Capital Improvement Plan.

The project is tentatively scheduled for design in 2026-2027, right-of-way acquisition and utility relocations in 2027-2028, and construction in 2028-2029.
