Top issues during term (7)(Roads)
2025 Stagecoach Road and 2026 pavement projects
Bluff Avenue Parking Restrictions
Two signs at $291 each, paid from the Public Works street budget.
Proposed Additional Public Works Maintenance Position
About $52,000 in levy impact (half the ~$104,500 total cost), if council adds it before September 15.
10th Avenue Safety Analysis
Project not yet funded; assessments under the city's 25-year-old policy would offer a ten-year payback.
MVTA transit pilot and regional transit solicitations
Downtown ADA, lighting and tree improvements completed
Final construction costs came in about $42,000 under the original bid, with a total project cost of $729,663.26.
Downtown Railroad Quiet Zone / Minnesota Street Crossing Closure
Upgrading every downtown crossing without closures could cost at least $750,000 each; the state grant would have covered about $30,000 of application costs.
