Resolution setting a public hearing for 7:00 p.m. on March 23, 2020 for the South 1st Street Neighborhood Rehab, Phase XI.  Project # PW21-12

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 and Grace Street. The Phase IX project has only minor punch list items remaining and included Iowa Avenue, Palmer Avenue, and Grove Street.  The Phase X project is substantially complete with only punch list items and seeding remaining.

The next phase is scheduled for construction in 2020 and will continue the reconstruction along Franklin Avenue from 675 Franklin Avenue to Hazel Street, Hazel Street from Franklin Avenue to Iowa Avenue, Charles Street from Grace Street to Hazel Street and Iowa Avenue from 510 Iowa Avenue to Hazel Street.

This project is included in the FY21 CIP and includes a budget of $1,350,000 in Sales Tax Funds.

Approval of this resolution.
