1. BACKGROUND
This legislation authorizes the City Attorney's Office, Real Estate Division, to hire professional services and to negotiate with property owners to acquire the various property rights necessary to complete the Arterial Street Rehabilitation - Hamilton Road - I-70 to Refugee Road (FRA-SR317-10.630 (PID Number 95570)) project.

Combination curb and gutter will be installed along the full limits of Hamilton Road. Concrete walk shall be installed on the east side of Hamilton Road and shared use path on the west side. Bio-swales with filtration/detention structures will be installed between the curb and proposed walks. Service roads with poor pavement conditions will be resurfaced with storm inlets installed as necessary. Signals will be upgraded to mast arms at the Hamilton intersections with Refugee Road, Eastland Two, Eastland One, Macsway Avenue, Kimberly Parkway and Groves Road.
