The South 1st Street neighborhood bounded by Pierce Street on the north, Palmer Avenue on the south, 1st Street on the west and Franklin Avenue on the east consists of some of the original town subdivision within the city.

 

Records indicate that the infrastructure in this area dates back prior to the 1950’s and is in need of replacement.  Storm sewers are lacking or undersized, sanitary sewers are leaking and broken and the pavements are in poor condition.  Improvement projects will be phased over several years to replace and upgrade the aged infrastructure.

 

Phases I thru VIII are complete and included portions of Knepper Street, Damon Street, Hill Street, Stutsman Street, Langstrom Street, Franklin Avenue, Platner Street, Carson Avenue, Grace Street, Kappell Avenue, Charles Street, Garden Street, Bloomer Street, Clinton Street, Voorhis Street, Stahl Avenue, Grace Street, Stutsman Avenue, Voorhis Street and Platner Street. The Phase IX project includes Palmer Avenue, Grove Street and Iowa Avenue.  Palmer Avenue and Grove Street are complete; Iowa Avenue will be completed in June\July of 2019.   

 

Phase X will include Stutsman Avenue from Platner Street to just beyond Clinton Street to the dead end and Platner Street from Stutsman Street to South 1st Street.  CBWW will reimburse the City for the cost associated with Division V.

 

This project was included in the FY20 CIP with a budget of $1,000,000 in Sales Tax Funds.

 

The project schedule is as follows: Construction Start June 2019
Construction End November 1919
