5 issues in roads with high priority
Merrill Avenue Phase 2 improvements
A contract with DPE Construction to fix a sewer manhole drop connection could prevent sewer problems in the neighborhood. Sewer reliability is something residents rely on every day.
Lakin Drive subsidence repair on Main Street
The contractor rebuilding the sinking stretch of Lakin Drive fell behind schedule, so the city had to shift $100,000 from other projects to finish the roughly $371,800 job this fiscal year.
Port of entry traffic patterns
Taxi drivers are asking the city again to let them stage two units near the border entrance so customers can find them without police shooing them from spot to spot. They say their families depend on this work and are promising to keep order if allowed.
10th Avenue Widening Project environmental clearance
The widening from Cesar Chavez Boulevard to County 22nd needs federal environmental studies — owl habitat, cultural resources, flat-tailed horned lizard — before right-of-way can be granted. Kimley Horn gets $89,500 and about four months to complete them.
Main Street business access and pedestrian safety
Business owners near La Mexicana say lane changes and queuing traffic are blocking customers and delivery trucks, hurting sales, and say crossings near the day-laborer parking lot are dangerous for pedestrians.
