Next item twenty-five dash one one nine seven. Bidders approve for responsibility. There are none today, so we'll move on to our next agenda item twenty-six-ero nine three eight. Request from Quick Trip to approve plan for the Quick Trip Way and Oak Street's intersection project. Sure, thanks, Mayor. So what you have before you hear is um a concept being requested by QuickTrip to modify part of the public right-of-way and proceed with the uh the process of splitting off some of their property and deeding that to the city that we would make public right-of-way to uh help accommodate some of the larger truck turns that exist out there. The um the map that was attached in Legistar that everyone hopefully saw shows the placement of a of a small island that would then allow pedestrian refuge, uh crossing Quick Tripway itself and then the right turn lane. There would be some utility work involved as well to drain their storm sewer overflow out to city facilities. Um this would be work proposed by and paid for and done by QuickTrip. Um that they would follow uh state standard or state city standards and would be subject to uh approval by engineering.
