Summary:
Project No. 3-C-107-17 was created by Resolution No. 18-1117 on December 18, 2018.
The Project will extend Mahaffie Circle from its existing terminus north of 151st Street to the intersection of Old 56 Highway and Church Street. Improvements include extending the bridge over the railroad on I-35, pavement, curb and gutter, storm sewer, street lights, and sidewalks. A new 12” waterline is also being installed along the new roadway to address water pressure issues on the east side of I-35. Attachment A is a map of the project area.
Right-of-Way and/or easements need to be acquired on 3 tracts of land for the project.
This resolution is the first step in the eminent domain process (Attachment B).
To keep the project on schedule, land acquisition needs to be completed by December 31, 2019 to allow the project to be completed by late summer 2020. Staff is continuing to negotiate with the property owners to try to reach agreements to acquire the property before using the eminent domain process.
