Explanation
This legislation authorizes the Public Service Director to reimburse Lifestyle Communities for provision of design services for the widening of Hayden Run Road project in an amount of up to $196,000.00. The work is designated as elements HR-3 and HR-4 in the Memorandum of Understanding that was authorized by Ordinance 1433-2004 passed by City Council November 22, 2004. Ordinance 1006-2005, passed by City Council on June 30, 2005, granted consent and proposed cooperation with Lifestyle Communities for design services relating to the infrastructure improvements.
The project will widen Hayden Run Road to five lanes from the west leg of the intersection with Avery Road to the proposed Britton-Cosgray connecting road. The streetscape will also feature curbs, gutters, sidewalks, lighting, signalization and an enclosed storm drainage system where possible. The work is a component of the Hayden Run Corridor development.
Fiscal Impact: Some $166,155.00 is currently available within the Pay As We Grow Northwest Corridor Area Fund in the Lifestyle-NW Corridor project and this ordinance appropriates and authorizes the expenditure of these funds. The balance needed, $29,845.00, has been identified within the 1995, 1999, 2004 Voted Streets and Highways Fund in the Roadway Improvement project from cancellation of an Auditor's Certificate (AC901906/001) that was established in 1999 for Polaris Parkway widening right-of-way acquisition that is no longer needed.
Emergency action is requested so that this project can proceed in a timely manner and keep commitments made to the local community.
