SUMMARY
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
The Downtown Enhancement Program aligns with the City Council directed three-lane configuration with
one lane in each direction and one mostly continuous center-left-turn lane. The project includes
pavement preservation treatments such as micro surfacing and slurry seal; removal of existing striping;
installation of new thermoplastic pavement markings and raised pavement markers; signing adjustments;
and implementation of traffic control measures necessary to deliver the improvements safely. 
All striping and roadway markings will be installed in accordance with the revised configuration, which is
designed to improve turning movements, reduce rear-end and left-turn conflicts, support safer pedestrian
crossings, and enhance overall downtown safety and placemaking objectives consistent with Council
direction.
BENEFITS:
The Downtown Enhancement Program provides multiple benefits by implementing formal City Council
direction and executing the approved three-lane roadway configuration for the downtown corridor. The
project supports long-term infrastructure planning by aligning striping and roadway improvements with
future enhancements, including planned pedestrian signal improvements, while minimizing the need for
costly re-striping or modifications in later phases.
Operationally, the revised configuration reduces vehicle conflicts, improves turning efficiency by adding a
continuous center-left-turn lane, and enhances overall traffic flow. From a safety and community
perspective, the improvements enhance downtown walkability, support pedestrian activity, and reinforce
the City’s broader placemaking and safety objectives.

FUTURE ACTION:
Upon City Council approval of this Council Action Report, the City will proceed with formal project
implementation activities. Staff will finalize and execute all necessary construction authorizations and
contract documents, issue the Notice to Proceed, and coordinate pre-construction activities with the
contractor and project stakeholders. This will include scheduling the pre-construction meeting, confirming
the approved Traffic Control Plan, coordinating inspection services, and verifying material submittals in
accordance with the approved plans and specifications.
Construction activities will then commence in accordance with the established project schedule, with City
staff providing ongoing construction oversight, quality assurance, and field verification of striping layout
before final thermoplastic installation. Upon completion of construction, the project will proceed to final
inspection, punch list resolution, and closeout documentation before formal acceptance.
