ENGINEERING TH 20 Avenue (CSAH 54) Corridor Study Staff recently met with County Engineering staff to discuss the timing, funding and logistics for projects along the corridor. County staff will be sending a draft of the schedule for the various projects along with cost share estimates to the cities in the next month or two. 2025 Thin Overlay Project The City Engineer and Public Works Director have been examining streets and working with the Finance Director to scope a potential overlay project for 2025. The street fund has roughly $1 Million in available cash to spend. An overlay project was last done in 2022. For the past 10 years or so, the city has been doing bituminous (blacktop) overlays in lieu of seal coating. The overlays aim for a cycle of around 15 to 20 years, where seal coating was on a 5-to-7-year rotation. In the end, the overall cost is roughly the same, but we believe the results are better with the overlays. Homes along the route of the overlay project are generally asked to contribute a small portion of the cost (usually about 20%), through special assessments. The remaining costs come from the street fund which is supported by general levy taxes and franchise fees. PUBLIC WORKS Solar on Public Buildings Grant A kick-off meeting with the contractor will be scheduled shortly.
