Consultation has concluded

Pedestrian and stormwater management improvements were requested by residents in this neighborhood through the Residential New Concrete Sidewalk Program(External link).

Safety and Drainage Improvements
This project would make the intersection of Roberts Road and Dwight Avenue safer to navigate. Sidewalks would be installed on Dwight Avenue between Roberts Road and Orchard Drive to improve pedestrian safety. Curb and gutter would be installed along this same section to contain stormwater runoff to the roadway and prevent it from flowing onto private property.

Priority Project
This project is included in the city’s FY2024-25 Two-Year Transportation Program, adopted by City Council on June 13, 2023. The projects in the program are eligible for regional, state, and federal funding consideration over the next 2-10 years. The projects recommended in the program balance local and regional transportation needs, improve connectivity, and facilitate livability.

Funding
The City Council will be asked to endorse an application for state revenue sharing funding for the Dwight Avenue Improvements project at their September 12 City Council meeting. Councilmembers will review feedback from the current outreach period when considering endorsement of the funding application. If the city is successful in receiving this funding, it would become available in 2026, with construction occurring in 2028-2029.

Open House
The city is developing concept plans to share with the public at an open house on July 18. Residents are encouraged to stop by City Hall between 5 and 7 p.m. to see the proposed plans and share feedback with transportation planners.
