Summary:
Project No. 3-R-001-24 was created by Resolution No. 23-1024 on March 21, 2023. This project is a full depth asphalt pavement and subgrade replacement. This includes replacement of concrete curb and gutters, installation of sidewalk, driveway approaches, streetlight installation, and stormwater improvements. This project also includes select waterline replacement. The project limits for Phase 1 are Hamilton Circle from Harrison Street to just east of the railroad crossing. Attachment A is a map of the project area.
Easements need to be acquired on 15 commercial tracts of land for the project and easements on 8 tracts have been acquired to date.
This resolution (Attachment B) is the first step in the eminent domain process.
To keep the project on schedule, land acquisition needs to be completed as soon as possible. Staff will continue to negotiate with the property owners to try and reach agreements to acquire the property before using the eminent domain process.
