December Project Update

Following the public hearing at the December 16 City Council meeting, the Council authorized the preferred concept for 72nd Street. The project team has now begun final design for the street and sanitary sewer improvements along 72nd Street from France Avenue to Cornelia Drive. Design work will continue through the winter, with public bidding anticipated in early spring and construction scheduled for summer 2026. A new project website will launch in 2026 to keep residents informed about progress on the 72nd Street project.

The timeline for the remainder of the South Trunk Sanitary Sewer Improvement Project is still under review. City staff is conducting a rate study and evaluating the capital improvement plan. It is expected that the original timeline, which included Phase 2 construction in 2028 and Phase 3 construction in 2030, will be delayed, and the project may be divided into additional phases.

Updates on these changes, along with additional project information, will continue to be shared on this website.

Thank you for your patience and engagement as we move forward with these improvements.
