4 issues in roads with medium priority
Work Street bridge replacement traffic impacts
The WYDOT Work Street bridge replacement starts next week, with months of changed traffic patterns through July. Council Member Brantz raised resident concerns about backups if drivers shift to Park Street, and staff agreed to evaluate a possible no-left-turn restriction there.
Traffic concerns at Brundage Avenue and Sheridan Avenue
Resident Thomas Jones asked the council to consider a four-way stop at Brundage and Sheridan Avenue near the M&M Center, saying the approved Scott Street stop will just push more traffic onto Sheridan Avenue. Staff will review traffic counts and accident data.
5th and Main Curb Reconstruction
The tight curb radius at 5th and Main has trucks bumping or even jumping the curb and driving over the ADA ramp. A $73,637.50 contract with SSR Construction will widen the radius to 44 feet this fall, funded by the extra penny sales tax.
Pavement Condition Assessment
The city hasn't assessed its streets since 2019. A fresh survey of about 140 miles of roads will guide which streets get fixed next and feed the new Cartograph asset tracking system.
