Description

Resolution setting a public hearing for 7:00 p.m. on October 7, 2024 for the 30th Avenue Reconstruction.  Project # PW25-12

Background/Discussion

The Lake Manawa Power Center is a large development with several retail and restaurant destinations near I-80/I-29.  30th Avenue is one of two main entrances into the shopping center from the South Expressway, and improvements to the entrance are warranted.

 

As part of the Council Bluffs Interstate and Railroad Consolidation projects, the railroad tracks that were located between the South Expressway and Power Center have been removed.  The elimination of the tracks will allow the new street to be lowered, resulting in an improved street profile.  

 

The project will reconstruct 30th Avenue for 275 feet east of the South Expressway.   

 

This project was included in the FY25 CIP and includes a budget of $750,000 in Local Option Sales Tax funds.

 

The project schedule is as follows: Set Public Hearing September 23, 2024
Hold Public Hearing October 7, 2024
Letting November 5, 2024
Award November 18, 2024
Construction Start April 2025
 
Recommendation

Approval of this resolution. The project will improve the street profile by removing the existing railroad crossing along 30th Avenue.
