Background/Discussion
The City has been contacted by the Board of Waterworks Trustees of Council Bluffs, Iowa regarding a parcel adjacent to Hillcrest Ave. that is no longer of strategic value to their operation, and they would like to donate the parcel to the City. Hillcrest Avenue is a residential street with infrastructure that dates back to the 1970’s and is in need of replacement. The pavement on Hillcrest Avenue has an asphalt surface approximately 16 feet wide with no curb and gutter, sidewalk, or storm sewer. The roadway surface is in poor condition and the width of the roadway is far below current standards.
A project has been programmed to rehabilitate the sanitary sewer and reconstruct the street.
The proposed land transfer will allow for a widened roadway with a turnaround area at the dead end of Hillcrest Avenue. This improvement will facilitate snow plow operations and emergency vehicles responding to calls for service.
