A1Ebony & Garnet Streets road improvement public hearing
Public road improvement hearing for Ebony & Garnet Streets between 185th Ave and 189th Ave.
The Council held a public improvement hearing on the proposed 2021 reconstruction of Ebony and Garnet Streets between 185th Ave and 189th Ave. Engineer Shane Nelson described reclaiming the existing bituminous surface, adding aggregate and new pavement, addressing subgrade and drainage problems, and assessing 50 percent of the estimated pavement replacement cost to 20 benefitting properties. Residents asked about the certainty of the design, past road failures, driveway grades, garbage-truck wear, drainage ditches, mailboxes, timing, and warranties. The City Attorney reminded residents that the point of no return would come later, when a contract is awarded. The only vote recorded at this hearing was to close the public hearing.

A2Rogers Lake Area road improvement public hearing
Public road improvement hearing for 183rd Lane, 184th Ave, 185th Lane, Salish Circle, Ventre Street, and small portions of Waco St and Yakima St in the Rogers Lake Area.
The Council held a public improvement hearing on the proposed 2021 Rogers Lake Area road project covering 183rd Lane, 184th Ave, 185th Lane, Salish Circle, Ventre Street, and small portions of Waco Street and Yakima Street. Engineer Shane Nelson described reclaiming existing pavement, replacing road culverts, paving to 3 1/2 inches, matching driveways, and keeping the existing 20-foot road width. The estimates presented included a total project cost, a separate 185th Lane gravel-to-pavement upgrade cost, and proposed per-unit assessments. Residents asked about the assessment amount, bid process, lowest-bid requirements, whether homeowners would vote, city versus county funding, and why taxes cover only part of road reconstruction. The only vote recorded at this hearing was to close the public hearing.
