Agenda Item:
Resolution ordering preparation of feasibility report for Capital Improvement Project 11121; Long Street and Emerson Lane.
Recommendation/Action(s):
Adoption of the attached resolution.
Summary:
The Construction Services Department is requesting authorization from the Council to prepare a feasibility report for the Long Street and Emerson Lane reconstruction project. On June 9, 2025, the Council adopted a resolution approving the feasibility for this project. However, at that time, the project included Long Street from Main Street to Fair Street and Emerson Lane from Pfau Street to N Belmont Drive.
Since June 2025, the project scope has expanded to include Long Street from Main Street to Madison Avenue and Emerson Lane from Pfau Street to North Belmont Drive. The city secured $1.5 million in LRIP funding for the expanded scope of the project. This item is requesting authorization from the Council to prepare a feasibility report for the expanded scope. A public open house is planned for late June 2026 to gather community feedback on traffic-calming amenities. Staff recommends the Council pass the resolution authorizing the Construction Services Department to prepare the feasibility report.
The feasibility report provides the background of the project, the proposed improvements, the cost of the improvements and the method and amount of proposed special assessments. Approximate schedules of the projects will be provided in the feasibility reports with construction ultimately planned for 2027.
After the feasibility reports are completed, a Call for Hearing will be requested for Council review and decision on the project. The preliminary special assessments will be discussed in the improvement hearing and the report will be received by the Council during the hearing. This report is the basis for providing the Council with information to consider the project. The hearing allows all interested people to provide testimony to the council on the project for council deliberations prior to ordering the project. Should the council find the project feasible, a resolution is passed ordering the project designed and bids solicited for the work.
