City Council Approves 2027 Roadway Reconstruction Project for Woodbury Heights Neighborhood

The City Council held a public hearing for the 2027 Roadway Reconstruction Project in the Woodbury Heights neighborhood. The project involves full water main and service replacement, sanitary sewer replacement or lining, storm sewer replacement, and stormwater quality improvements. The need for the project is driven by the poor condition of the roads (average PCI of 26), frequent water main breaks due to aging cast iron pipes, and sanitary sewer root intrusion. The proposed scope includes replacing approximately 190 trees and rehabilitating park trails and parking lots. Funding will come from various city funds, with an estimated 20% of the total project cost covered by special assessments to property owners, adjusted by a benefit appraisal. Council approved the preliminary report, ordered the project, authorized the selection of a consultant for final design, and preparation of plans and specifications, along with the acquisition of easements. The project is estimated to begin in May 2027 and extend into 2028.
