| Status Details |
The City received a grant from the Mid American Regional Council (MARC) to provide a study for sustainable places along this corridor. MARC has hired Transystems to complete the study. Recommendations from the study will be incorporated in the construction plans. A public meeting was held on May 8, 2019 to discuss options of streetscape and landscape design. The final public meeting was held on September 17, 2019. The study report was brought to the February 10, 2020 City Council meeting. Staff has hired Transystems to prepare plans and specifications.
Included is the web page for information related to the Imagine 75th Street corridor study and preliminary/final plans.

The consultant has completed plans for construction and final plans were approved at the March 22, 2021 City Council meeting. The project bid on April 16th. There were only 3 bids and they were all above the current budget for this work. Therefore the City is going to re-bid this project in the fall (2021) to provide opportunity of more competitive bids and the hope that material costs will go down. Staff is still moving forward with the design and plan preparation for an aesthetic wall/mural in front of the Southern Star property at 75th and Nieman. This work will also be bid later this fall.
The attached plans are now preliminary as minor changes and redesign is in process. |
