May 5, 2025 Update

The project limits have been extended on Gary St. The new limits are from Dempsey Rd to the dead-end, previous limits were from Dempsey Rd to Elinor St. Limits were updated for failing utilities found in the early design phase.

Following the design team’s review of the City’s Complete Green Street policy, along with input from the neighborhood at the first public information meeting, City staff have prepared street layout options that we would like your feedback on for Davidson St, Maher Ave, Park Ct and Gary St.  Please note that this feedback will not be the ultimate decision on the street design, but it will be taken into consideration by the Transportation Commission, Board of Public Works, and Common Council, who are ultimately responsible for approving the final design.

A public information meeting is scheduled for 6 p.m., May 15, 2025, via Zoom. Registration prior is required.
