The Finance Committee of the Cheyenne City Council convened on April 11, 2025, to discuss significant infrastructure projects, including a cooperative agreement with the Wyoming Department of Transportation (WYDOT) for thermoplastic pavement markings and a lighting installation project for the Dutcher Baseball Fields.

City Traffic Engineer Rick Amon presented the first major item on the agenda, detailing a cooperative agreement for thermoplastic pavement markings. This project, which is part of a larger WYDOT initiative, aims to enhance road safety along Lincoln Way and College. The city's estimated contribution to this project is $234,845, which is part of a broader half-billion-dollar project led by WYDOT. Amon noted that the city plans to undertake an additional thermoplastic project for high-priority areas, with an estimated cost of $300,000.

The committee unanimously approved the motion to allocate the funds for the thermoplastic pavement markings, signaling strong support for the initiative.

In the second major discussion, Jason Sanchez from Community Recreation and Events introduced bid number SDash12Dash25 for an agreement with BCM Incorporated, also known as Mortenson Electric. This agreement focuses on the installation of lighting at the Dutcher Baseball Fields, funded through state distribution funds and community facility fees. The committee is expected to review this proposal in upcoming meetings.

Overall, the discussions highlighted the city's commitment to improving infrastructure and public safety through strategic partnerships and funding allocations. The committee's approval of the pavement markings project marks a significant step forward in enhancing Cheyenne's roadways.
