City staff provided progress updates on two roadway capital improvement projects, saying both are moving toward key milestones tied to school schedules.

Russell Alabastro, CIP project manager, showed drone and site images for the Raider Way and East Woodview Drive project. He said the new section of Raider Way is open in both directions, sidewalks are poured and traffic flow adjustments, including potential striping changes, are under consideration. Staff said the project team is targeting full opening for both directions by spring break; school traffic will be able to enter from either Woodview or Rouse next week but will exit only on Raider Way until final openings are complete.

On the Baghdad Road and Calabrio Way project, staff reported subgrade work in progress and said they expect the traffic signal hardware — pole, mast arm and control box — to be delivered the following week and the signal activated in February. Drainage swales and electrical controls are installed and crews continue subgrade compaction and related work.

Council members and staff discussed sight lines, landscaping in the roundabout center, pedestrian crossings and timing for when school traffic resumes. No formal action was required; the session was an informational update.
