Resolution approving the plans and specifications for South 1st Street Neighborhood Rehab, Phase XII.  Project # PW22-12

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 X 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, Iowa Avenue, Palmer Avenue, and Grove Street. Phase XI is substantially complete with only punch list items and seeding remaining and included portions of Franklin Avenue, Charles Street and Hazel Street.  

Phase XII is scheduled for construction in 2021 and will complete the reconstruction of Grace Street from just north of  Langstrom Street to Charles Street and Langstrom Street from Grace Street west approx. 200 feet. This is the final phase of the South 1st Street Neighborhood Rehabilitation program.

This project is included in the FY22 CIP and includes a budget of $1,250,000 in Sales Tax Funds.  

Approval of this resolution.  This project completes the infrastructure improvements for the neighborhood.
