So I think this is just the extension to continue the work and get it finished up. Thank you. 00:30:51.501 --> 00:30:56.094 - Any public comment on this item. All right. Is there a motion. 00:30:56.610 --> 00:31:04.584 - We approve the right-of-way closure request from Duke Energy for extension of permit at 6th Street and 00:31:04.584 --> 00:31:12.481 - grant Second I will call the roll Roche. I Cox Decker. I Caron I motion passes Next is a right-of-way 00:31:12.481 --> 00:31:20.533 - closure request for a high decor Wheat Lake at Broadview neighborhood Pardon me exacting a glass water. 00:31:20.533 --> 00:31:26.494 - I just want to make sure it's the last one. I'm almost done Thank you though 00:31:26.882 --> 00:31:33.480 - Took a sip before I came in. I knew it was gonna be long So Zach Bell engineering Hidecker Wheat Lake 00:31:33.480 --> 00:31:40.207 - is requesting approval of a temporary right-of-way closure within and around the Broadview neighborhood 00:31:40.207 --> 00:31:47.192 - to accommodate gas line modernization The request includes temporary closures of travel lanes and sidewalks 00:31:47.192 --> 00:31:54.113 - as necessary to safely complete the work The closures are proposed from September 9th 2026 through January 00:31:54.113 --> 00:31:56.830 - 8th 2027 during normal construction hours 00:31:56.962 --> 00:32:03.088 - Pedestrian and vehicular traffic will be maintained shifted or rerouted in accordance with the approved 00:32:03.088 --> 00:32:09.273 - maintenance of traffic plan Sidewalk closures will be limited to areas within the scope of their project 00:32:09.273 --> 00:32:15.164 - that do have sidewalks some parts of the neighborhood do some parts don't So that's how we're going 00:32:15.164 --> 00:32:21.054 - to handle that Traveling closures will only occupy one lane at a time starting at South bent Avenue 00:32:21.054 --> 00:32:26.238 - installing mains first then laterals and We'll have compliant temporary traffic control 00:32:29.314 --> 00:32:42.863 - I'm just curious about the petitioners as a subcontractor for Centerpoint. So it's okay. Yeah And Because 00:32:42.863 --> 00:32:55.518 - this neighborhood has intermittent sidewalks I know the there's the line that basically the access 00:32:55.714 --> 00:33:03.808 - Sidewalk will it will provide the most feasible and compliant sidewalk detour or closure. So in most 00:33:03.808 --> 00:33:12.063 - cases we would be looking at Something that would detour Like a pedestrian, right? So in a place where 00:33:12.063 --> 00:33:20.638 - there isn't an adjacent sidewalk to send them to will have to create there They have to create a diversion 00:33:21.346 --> 00:33:28.921 - So that would be a Pro Act compliant route around the work. So you could either send them into the street 00:33:28.921 --> 00:33:36.211 - protected or as long as it's level and the Whatever you use to create the pathway is compliant That's 00:33:36.211 --> 00:33:43.714 - fine. And that's kind of what I'll recommend for them in some cases, you know if there's only Two people 00:33:43.714 --> 00:33:50.718 - that may ever use the sidewalk and it would be too dangerous to create a diversion. We might just 00:33:50.978 --> 00:34:04.789 - You to close it, but I don't think that's what we would need. I think we could just do a diversion Okay 00:34:04.789 --> 00:34:18.334 - And most of these probably wouldn't be over 24 hours anyway in this case All right, is there a motion 00:34:18.722 --> 00:34:26.841 - I move that we approve the right-of-way closure request for Heidecker wheat leg at Broadview neighborhood 00:34:26.841 --> 00:34:34.041 - Second I will call the roll Roach.

Okay This is also obviously such a traveled area I will assume 00:36:14.338 --> 00:36:23.139 - Coordination with MCCSE and the businesses along that route are aware as well. Yes, absolutely.

So this is part of a private development of 00:38:25.857 --> 00:38:33.380 - the former Pizza Hut location there off Pete Ellis and this is going to be a tie-in that was required 00:38:33.380 --> 00:38:39.870 - by CBU that will be performed by a private subcontractor for the project not by CBU and 00:38:40.642 --> 00:38:48.226 - which would run this new train system essentially from that Pizza Hut, former Pizza Hut location over 00:38:48.226 --> 00:38:55.809 - into East Third Street. So all the improvements were deemed appropriate and necessary by CBU upon the 00:38:55.809 --> 00:39:03.244 - review of the project proposal.
