This also includes community outreach to keep residents and business <br />aware of pending traffic conditions, including detours and road closures. <br />Strategic Plan Strategy/Goal: Maintain good infrastructure in such a way that is <br />walkable & attractive, safe, and affordable and to be a progressive City that is <br />welcoming, and a desirable destination who seek progress through partnerships. <br />Financial Impact: City will receive their formula calculated share after all expenses are <br />paid.
