The purpose of this meeting was to discuss the petition for improvements
filed by residents of 177th Street. This petition requested improvement
of the road, between Greystone Avenue and Henna Avenue, by the addition of
bituminous surface.
The City Engineer had prepared a preliminary report on the project, which
had been provided previously to residents of 177th Street, in the area
proposed for improvement. The initial project cost was estimated at
$481,17-C). Mr. Agnes explained to the Council and residents the proposed
design for the roadway, and indicated that, if constructed, the road would
connect to the paved portion of 177th Street west of Greystone Avenue
through a .30 mph curve, which would regUire the acquisition of additional
right-of-way.
The Council then took comments from the residents of 177th Street, and
discussed the project. Principal concerns of the residents were the high
cost of the project and potential City contributions to its funding. The
Council was questioned whether the City cannot conduct some lower-cost
improvements to the road leaving it gravel, but still correcting drainage
problems.
Miron made motion, Goiffon seconded, to direct City staff to develop a
maintenance plan for the section of 177th Street, including regrading to
allow for better drainage, additional rock. Surface, and culvert repair or
replacement.
