Overview: In April 2018, Council authorized staff to work with Kimley-Horn, engineering consulting firm, to proceed with final design and construction of Elliott Road Extension. The roadway plans are nearly complete and staff is providing an update on the design components requested by Council, the final cost estimate, and the funding strategy.

|
Recommendation(s): |
That the Council receive the update on the Elliott Road Extension design, construction, cost, and funding strategy and provide guidance on funding options.
Key Issues:
• The roadway design includes all required stormwater treatment and mitigation, raised bike lanes, sidewalks, and traffic calming.
• The construction cost estimate is now higher than it was when Council authorized staff to proceed with construction in 2018.
• Construction is expected to begin in spring 2020.
Fiscal Impact/Resources: The original funding plan allocated $5 million to the Elliott Road Extension (Phase II). Due to a combination of project cost increases and project budget decreases that will be discussed in more detail at the meeting, we find ourselves with a funding gap. Staff will offer options for filling the gap at the meeting.
