Assistant City Manager Madeline Sturms explained that the City Council has prioritized infrastructure improvements throughout the community in the current and upcoming fiscal year budgets. Among the projects planned for completion are improvements to the intersection of Sherrylynn Boulevard and University Avenue. Earlier this year the City entered into a design contract with Snyder and Associates for the first phase of this work to reconstruct the intersection to increase capacity, improve safety, and repair poor surface conditions of the roadway. City staff applied for and were awarded Surface Transportation Block Grant (STBG) funding through the Des Moines Area Metropolitan Planning Organization in the amount of $500,000. This is an agreement for the State agency to provide funding for construction costs for the project. This is a resolution that would approve the agreement with the Iowa DOT and the STBG program for the project”.
