Capital Improvements - In Progress

Staff continue to work towards implementation of proposed recommendations from Phase I. One of these recommendations included installing a larger, enclosed stormwater pipe to convey more water westward along Dexter Road and away from private properties while working on the Dexter Road Sidewalk Project; please visit the project webpage to see the design plan for that project.

Due to a recent and unforeseen permit denial by another agency, this recommendation can no longer occur. City staff are working with engineering consultants to design alternatives to manage stormwater coming from north of Dexter. As the city moves forward with its Capital Improvement Plan, staff will ensure the new sidewalk is coordinated with any revised strategies for stormwater management.
