Peditioner is requesting approval of temporary right-of-way closures along South Walnut Street from
Dodd Street to Grimes Lane To accommodate water and sewer service updates The work will be completed
in a phased manner with closure shifting between work areas rather than occurring simultaneously The
project is scheduled from May 8th 2026 through May 29th 2026 during normal construction hours with impacts
limited to a single active work zone at any given time and
Just received word from James that they will hold off on starting until after commencement That's great
news. Thank you very much. Yeah Does that shift the end date past May 29th? Do we should we expect a
couple of extra days on that end? I would think if that was their approach It was one day and if it
was a certain amount in between those two dates then yes, but I don't know that for sure
questions from the board All right. Thank you. Is there a public comment on this item? None on zoom

June 21st 2026 during normal construction hours. Pedestrian traffic will be rerouted in accordance with
the approved maintenance of traffic plan. I worked with that traffic plan this morning with the applicant
with the petitioner and we've decided to change things up and we're going to keep the sidewalk open
but wanted to keep this person on the agenda just
case So if they do have to close a sidewalk, they're going to figure out a proag compliant way to deal
with it But they're just it's a kind of constrained because there aren't very good options for them
but they'll install and maintain required signage barricades and traffic control devices and maintain
access to properties and limit the closure to the minimum area and duration necessary to complete the work and
Thank you questions from the board on this item Not a question, but really a request for the future
since this particular petition and others like it. I Had a hard time locating it If there's
not an intersection called out if you can give us like a block Like the 400 block of East Winslow or
