Discussion:
On March 2, 2021, a public improvement hearing was held and Resolution R2021-024 was approved by City Council ordering the 2021 Alley Reconstruction Project. The project includes reconstructing the alleys from Fuller Street to Lewis Street between 1st Avenue and 2nd Avenue.
As discussed at the project's Public Improvement Hearing, lighting improvements were desired by a number of property owners. As such, lighting improvements were implemented into the final plans. These improvements consist of installing two new street lights and replacing an existing light. One of the proposed lights can be installed within an existing drainage and utility easement; however, the second required the acquisition of a new drainage and utility easement. The easement will encompass the street light and will allow the city to access, inspect and maintain it (see attached easement agreement).
