📋 Tender Overview
Description: Continuation of previous CIP project D-23 of 2018-2027. This project was included in the prior CIP at $4.5 million. The change in timing is due to further refinement of the scope of work based on completion of the conceptual design. This projects consists of several inter-related phases: 1) Conceptfunctional design (from Stafford Drive to MMD S) is currently underway under D-23 and allows the City to conduct improvements as required when doing other rehab work or when a property redevelops. This will include landscaping plans, approximate locations and also involve public consultation to adjacent businesses. 2) Condition assessments would be required for water, wastewater and electrical services (outside of the scope of this project). The main lines along 3 Ave South within the roadway have already been completed and so the service connections to the businesses must be assessed, as well as the condition of any electric lines or other shallow utilities located in the boulevard space. This would be completed by the respective Utility departments over the next several years. 3) Improving the street surface to encourage pedestrian, cycling and also higher transit usage, as well as improve overall safety, accessibility and landscaping within the existing 3 Avenue South Right of Way (ROW). Sidewalk space would be modified to include both hard and soft landscaping to improve the overall streetscaping. Transit stops would also be developed/enhanced to encourage transit use and ridership.
