Date: January 27, 2014 To: West 7th Street Residents and Other Interested Parties From: John Wilson, Public Works Director Re: West 7th Street Reconstruction Project The Whitefish Public Works Department has a goal to reconstruct 5 to 10 blocks of streets and utilities each year. The City’s Street Reconstruction Priority List identifies West 7th Street as the project to be built in 2015. The Public Works Department will ask the City Council to confirm that priority at their next regular meeting on Monday, February 3rd. Direction from the City Council would allow us to start design and plan for construction in 2015. The preliminary concept for the West 7th Street Reconstruction Project is to rebuild the roadway with new curbs and street lights, and to upgrade water, sewer and other utilities as needed, between Baker Avenue and the entrance to the Grouse Mountain subdivision. Another important feature would be new sidewalks and a bicycle/pedestrian path to improve safety and add to our growing trail system. City Council meetings begin at 7:10 p.m. in City Hall. The general public is invited to attend and express their views on this or any other subject during the Public Comment period at the start of the meeting. Written comments may be submitted by email to [EMAIL REDACTED], via postal service to the Public Works Department at P.O. Box 158, or by dropping a letter or note off at the front counter in City Hall. City Councilors will receive copies of all correspondence arriving before 5:00 p.m. on February 3rd. A copy of the meeting agenda and information packet will be available on the City web site at http://cityofwhitefish.org/mayor-and-city-council/agenda-info-2014.php after Thursday, January 30th. Agendas and information packets are also available on request. Please feel free to contact Karin, John or Sherri at [EMAIL REDACTED], 863.2460 or 863.2457 if you need more information.
