City staff engineer Jake Moser detailed the scope of City Project 20209-D, which involves partial reconstruction of both streets including new pavement, culvert replacements, and drainage improvements. The city received bids on April 27th and awarded the contract to McNamara Contracting on May 10th after it came in as the low bidder with costs under preliminary estimates.

The city made a significant concession to residents by moving the assessment hearing—where property owners learn what they'll pay toward the project—to after construction is complete. This means final assessments will be based on actual construction costs rather than preliminary estimates, a change made in response to resident feedback.

During a question-and-answer session, residents raised concerns about mailboxes, driveway damage, and construction timelines. The city confirmed that the contractor will temporarily relocate mailboxes to a shared cluster, likely near Invergrove Trail, following direction from the postmaster. Regarding driveways, Moser stated the city is "very much minimizing driveway impacts" by matching the new roadway profile to existing conditions, meaning most driveways won't need replacement—only a saw cut line where the new pavement meets the old.

Residents will generally maintain driveway access throughout construction, though access will be temporarily restricted when equipment operates directly in front of homes. The city emphasized these restrictions will be brief. Garbage and recycling service and package deliveries will be accommodated during construction. Disturbed turf areas will be reseeded, with the contractor responsible for establishment.

The project originated from a neighborhood petition with broad resident support. Residents can sign up for email updates through the city's "Notify Me" service to receive project notifications.
