STAFF REPORT TO: Mayor Fischer and Members of the City Council FROM: Bill Dircks, Public Works Director DATE: September 24, 2025 RE: Approve Country Drive Sidewalk Proposal ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED: Motion to approve Country Drive Sidewalk Proposal from Bolton & Menk in the amount of $53,400, which includes plans and specifications, property owner coordination, and permitting. BACKGROUND: The rehabilitation of County Drive from Little Canada Road to South Owasso Boulevard is set for construction in 2026. That section of road was identified in the city’s sidewalk and trail map as a future sidewalk project. Staff asked Bolton & Menk for a proposal to design the plans and specifications for adding the sidewalk along with the road rehabilitation. After completing the plans and cost estimates, staff can then provide the City Council a recommendation on whether doing this project together with the road rehab is feasible. If it is not feasible, the completed plans can be put on the shelf and will be ready when the project can become a reality. STRATEGIC PLAN: The 2030 Strategic Plan identified the strategic direction of Delivering Dynamic Community Spaces. This strategic direction states that: Little Canada desires to connect the community by linking trails and sidewalks and creating a community building for public gatherings. The City places a high value on keeping a small town feel and sense of community. One of the goals identified was to: Refine and execute plans for trails & pathways. Completing sidewalk plans and specifications for this section of road supports the city’s strategic plan. SOURCE OF FUNDS: This item will be funded by the Infrastructure Fund (450), which has sufficient funds for this proposal.
