Why is this project being done?
This project is a Capital Improvements Plan project to accomplish the following:
- Improve water system infrastructure - Replace aging 6" water main with new 8" water main and replace galvanized or lead service lines where encountered;
- Implement A2 Vision Zero Transportation Plan key mobility strategies - Fill sidewalk gaps on the east and west side of Brooks, enhance safety and visibility at uncontrolled crosswalks (eg. Pearl, Mixtwood)
- Reconfigure Sunset/Brooks/Vesper intersection for increased traffic safety and reduction of pavement.
- Resurface the pavement, thereby extending the life of the road;
- Install stormwater storage in the Allen Creek watershed to reduce surface flooding during larger storms.
