CONSENT CALENDAR
DATE: May 13, 1997
SUBJECT: REALIGNMENT OF LUTHER DRIVE, PROJECT NO. 95-068,
ADVERTISE FOR BIDS
DEPARTMENT: Building and Engineering Services
This project involves the removal of the existing roadway from 200 feet north of the centerline
of Mandan Street to Soledad Canyon Road and the reconstruction of Luther Drive 143 feet to
the east of its present location (see attached location map). The project will also provide road
improvements along Soledad Canyon Road including raised median, deceleration lane,
right -turn pocket, and the construction of a new signal at the intersection of Soledad Canyon
Road and Luther Drive/Homyr Place.
This project will realign Luther Drive to provide access to a new development project that will
provide an economic development opportunity to the Canyon Country area. The construction of
a theater and several restaurants in this part of Canyon Country would benefit existing
commercial developments and establish this area as one of the commercial hubs of the east side
of the City. Economic Development Administration (EDA) grant funds in the amount of
$500,000 are available in Account No. 73012106 for the construction of this project. EDA funds
used for this project also enable the City to assist the Sulphur Springs School District
(landholder) by enabling the District to develop. the vacant site, formerly used as an elementary
school. The vacant site has become an eyesore in the area, negatively impacting surrounding
property values.
Plans and specifications for this project have been completed and are available for review in the
offices of the City Clerk and Director of Building and Engineering Services. As required by the
conditions of the grant, the plans and specifications will not be advertised until EDA
authorization is received.
City Council approve the plans and specifications for Project No. 95-068, and authorize the
advertising for bids for the realignment of Luther Drive.
