th <br />at the intersection of Ferret Street and 147 Avenue in 2019 using in-house resources to ensure <br />that the intersection could continue to safely be used by the public and effectively maintained by <br />the City. He stated that based on recent developments, staff proposed to suspend improving the <br />th <br />intersection of Ferret Street and 147 Avenue in 2019, and instead monitor pavement conditions <br />at the intersection and recommend future improvements as needed. <br /> <br />Chairperson Kuzma asked if there would be available funding to fix the intersection if that was <br />needed. <br /> <br />Public Works Superintendent Riemer stated that if the reconstruction of the intersection was <br />needed there would be an estimated cost of $8,000 to $10,000. He stated that most of the users <br />that were in that area have moved out, so there should not be much wear on the road for the time <br />being. <br /> <br />Councilmember Riley stated that he agrees that the City should not reconstruct the intersection <br />just to reconstruct it again in the future. He also noted that road improvements continue to be a <br />high priority and therefore it seems odd to postpone needed improvements. <br /> <br />City Engineer Westby stated that public works is behind on its patching and did not believe it <br />would make sense to take time away from patching other more highly used roads to repair this <br />intersection. <br /> <br />Councilmember Riley agreed that this should be postponed. <br /> <br />Councilmember Heinrich asked when this improvement would then occur. <br /> <br />City Engineer Westby replied that reconstruction of the roadway will most likely follow the <br />redevelopment of this area. <br /> <br />Community Development Director Gladhill stated that this road is within TIF 14 and therefore <br />when redevelopment occurs, TIF could be an option for funding the road reconstruction. <br /> <br />The Committee provided consensus direction to suspend improvements to the intersection of <br />th <br />Ferret Street and 147 Avenue in 2019. <br /> <br />6.02: Update on Variolite Street Reconstruction Options <br /> <br />City Engineer Westby stated that typically staff starts developing street reconstruction and <br />overlay projects for the following year in July or August, based on the workload and the scope of <br />the projects. During the last five years, staff has followed the same project development process <br />Policy and 2015-2019 Street Reconstruction and Overlay Program. <br /> <br />City Engineer Westby provided additional details on the process which includes the creation of a <br />Feasibility Study/Report. He noted that currently the City does not have an adopted five-year <br />Street Reconstruction and Overlay Program identifying projects that are eligible for the use of <br />Public Works Committee / July 16, 2019 <br />Page 3 of 5 <br /> <br />
