The project generally consists of sidewalk and sidewalk ramp improvements along Miller Valley Road and Grove Avenue between Whipple Street and Gurley Street. The primary scope of work is to remove and replace sidewalk and sidewalk ramps that are not accessible with a mobility device or are not ADA compliant. Work includes the removal and replacement of sidewalk, sidewalk ramps, driveway entrances, and curb and gutter. Other improvements may include an ADA compliant sidewalk on the east side of Grove Avenue at Lincoln Avenue, roadway improvements to provide space for a sidewalk on the west side of Grove Avenue between Elrod Road and Garden Street, work to provide ADA compliant roadway crossings, pedestrian signage and roadway markings, and the relocation/removal of overhead utility and street light poles encroaching into sidewalks and sidewalk ramps. The City is currently negotiating an engineering design services contract with Civiltec. The City anticipates finalizing design drawings by December 2025 and will likely construct the project in phases. The City plans to advertise for bids and award a construction contract for the first phase in Spring 2026, start construction in Summer 2026, and complete construction of the first phase by the end of 2026.
