Top issues during term (9)(Roads)
Condemnation authority for bridge and road projects
Estimated $237M-$295M, split 50/50 between Iowa and Illinois using federal and state funds.
Major street and infrastructure projects accepted
Discussion of adding roughly $2 million or more per year in street funding; one option is directing surplus local option sales tax dollars to neighborhood streets.
West 53rd Street reconstruction grant
Combined contract awards total roughly $1.24 million, plus a $1.5 million state grant for the Eastern Avenue bridge.
Accessibility and sidewalks near Mid City High School
Moving sidewalks or adding barriers would require major capital program funding.
2026 construction season appreciation
Speed limit reductions on 36th and Warren Streets
Minimal — sign changes only.
Alley conditions near East Pleasant Street
Unknown; a city cost-share program was offered but declined.
Street Reconstruction Change Orders
Change order costs were offset by the project coming in well under budget.
2026 street construction program
Roughly $5.6 million in accepted and newly awarded construction contracts plus the 2026 street programs approved for bidding.
