Summary:

This project will improve 159th Street from Brougham Drive to Black Bob Road from a 2-lane rural section to an improved 2-lane arterial with turn lanes. Improvements will include pavement construction, curb and gutter, streetlights, sidewalks, storm sewer, modifications to the existing stream crossing and a new traffic signal at 159th and Brougham.

 

On January 21, 2025, City Council approved Resolution 25-1005 authorizing a project to improve 159th Street from Mur-Len to Black Bob to a 4-lane divided arterial section with turn lanes.  During the 2026 budget process, the scope of this project was modified to reduce the overall cost of the project from $20,365,000 to $10,775,000.  This resolution establishes the updated scope and cost of the project.

 

The estimated cost for this project is $10,775,000 including preliminary and final design, utility relocations, staff time, land acquisition, permitting, construction and inspection.

 

This project is tentatively scheduled for design in 2025/2026, land acquisition and utility relocations in 2026, and construction in 2027.
