City Council - Mar 4, 2026
The city is spending $3.66 million across two contracts to rebuild over 8,500 linear feet of streets and alleys, continuing a budget-year commitment to road repairs. Recent freezes worsened potholes, making the timing critical.
City Council - Jan 6, 2026
The city is spending $4.66 million to completely rebuild three residential streets — Pemberton, Hawes, and Adams — with new concrete, sidewalks, and utilities. Construction runs February 2026 to March 2027, so residents on those streets should expect construction traffic and temporary disruption.
