Among these streets are about 0.56 miles of streets within the North Forty development, which is located in the central portion of the City. These streets, which are identified in the attached figure, include: • 163rd Lane — Armstrong Boulevard to Alpaca Street • Alpaca Street, north of 163rd Lane • Chameleon Street, north of 163rd Lane Upon Council authorization, the Feasibility Report will be prepared in-house. While preparing the report, Staff will explore available options for minimizing project costs, such as by reclaiming existing pavement sections rather than removing and replacing all existing pavement. The Feasibility Report will utilize data currently being gathered using Ground Penetrating Radar and soil borings per previous Council approvals. Notification: No notifications are required for this case.
