City Public Services staff updated council on the ASR 86 verification project and associated traffic work, saying crews completed turn lanes north of Verioni and are working on the south side. Staff said Sixth Street between Pearl Avenue and SR 86 will be closed for about two weeks for median work, landscaping, waterline and electrical service work.
Public services staff said school officials and the city manager’s office were notified and the closure will be posted on social media. Council members asked about striping and public notification after drivers reported confusion with new lane configuration; staff said striping remains to be completed and promised social media guidance and explanatory materials.
Public services also reported other work including restriping school zones and crosswalks before school starts, painting red curbs and maintenance work at the old post office. Staff said Title 22 water recycling reports are near completion and that they are exploring connecting Fifteenth Street to divert traffic from residential streets, contingent on county coordination and available impact-fee funding.
