AGENDA MATTER:

RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING STREET CLOSURES AT VIRGINIA WAY / LILLIAN DRIVE INTERSECTION AND GRACE STREET / MOUNT VERNON INTERSECTION AS PART OF THE FY 25- 26 STREET REHABILITATION PROJECT
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

As part of the FY 25-26 Street Rehabilitation Project, various locations throughout the project will require street closures so that construction crews can safely complete public improvement repairs. In order to complete demolition and reconstruction of cross gutters at the Virginia Way / Lillian Drive and Grace Street / Mount Vernon Avenue intersections, staff is requesting adoption of Resolution No. _____-2026 which authorizes the closure of the aforementioned intersections from 7:00 a.m. on Monday, April 20, 2026, through the end of day on Friday, April 24, 2026. Detour routes (Exhibit A of Resolution No. _____- 2026 - Traffic Control Plans and Detour Map) will be adequately marked to provide alternate routes for the public’s use during the requested closures.

DISCUSSION:

City Staff is respectfully requesting the City Council’s consideration and approval of Resolution No. _____-2026 (Attachment A) which will authorize street closures starting at 7:00 a.m. on Monday, April 20, 2026, through the end of day on Friday, April 24, 2026, to complete portions of reconstruction as part of the FY 25-26 Street Rehabilitation Project (Project). During this time, traffic will be detoured (Exhibit A of Resolution No. _____-2026 - Traffic Control Plans and Detour Map), providing alternate routes to the community so that residents and businesses can continue to be accessed. City staff has been working closely with the Project’s contractor, Sully-Miller, to coordinate and provide advance notification to residents and business owners of the upcoming public improvement construction. The proposed closures are necessary to allow the contractor to safely and efficiently complete critical phases of work for the planned street rehabilitation. A full closure will help minimize impacts to local businesses and residents, decrease construction duration times, and enhance the public’s safety.

Sully-Miller is requesting approval of traffic control devices for hard closures at the following intersections beginning at 7:00 a.m. on Monday, April 20, 2026, through the end of day on Friday, April 24, 2026:
 Virginia Way and Lillian Drive (Hard Road Closure with proposed Detour Routes)  Grace Street and Mount Vernon Avenue (Hard Road Closure with proposed Detoured Routes) FISCAL IMPACT:

No Fiscal Impact for the Street Closure.

Staff recommends the City Council take the following action:
