WYDOT concrete median barriers on Coffeen and Brundage
Summary
WYDOT plans to add medians along Coffeen Avenue, and businesses along the corridor are pushing back. Because Coffeen is a state highway (the I-90 business loop), the city has little say — comments go to the state, which will present its statewide plan at next week's council meeting.

City Council (Regular) — March 16, 2026
The state plans to install concrete center median barriers that would block left turns into businesses along Coffeen Avenue and Brundage Lane, possibly as early as fall 2027. A business owner warned this could force business failures and divert truck traffic through residential neighborhoods and school zones, and asked the council to form a stakeholder working group before WYDOT finalizes its plan. The city confirmed taxpayers would pay for any landscaping in the medians.
