Community Impact

By preserving pavement now, the City avoids more expensive rehabilitation later. Temporary lane closures will be used during construction, but the project will be staged to minimize disruptions.

Environmental & Regulatory Compliance

NEPA compliance is required; tree pruning or minimal environmental permits may be needed, though no major environmental issues are anticipated.
