Please remove all headgear. I pledge allegiance to the five of the United States of America. And to the Republicans. One undergo individual midlifer to justice for all. Thank you, Megan. We will start out with announcements, construction project updates. Mayor and Commissioners, good evening here. Let me pull up my slides. Same group of projects that I had from last time. We'll start off with Memorial Highway, as usual. Reminder, once again, this is split into two phases. The uh west half is being constructed by Northern Improvement, and the east half, which is the one that's further along, is being constructed by Reedy Construction. Some of the happenings on the corridor right now. There's a there's been a traffic traffic shift for median and turn lane paving. Um I do have a picture of that right there. You can kind of see how it shifts over uh for the work to be completed in the middle there. That traffic shift will be moving along the corridor as they uh get further and further along to do that median paving. Um 43rd has been reopened since our last meeting, and then on June 4th, we're expecting um the northern portion of 40th Avenue Southeast to be closed in order to resolve some utility conflicts. Um this project is still on schedule to be complete at the beginning beginning of July, ahead of July 4th. And I don't have any pictures. Uh I do have to have a closer view of the um traffic shift if people are interested in looking at that a little bit better. Um I don't have any pictures of the phase two work right now, but they are still at that main street intersection working on con concrete, and um there will be uh more traffic changes as they switch from subphase to sub phase uh maintaining traffic throughout the intersection. And then um they will start utility work along third street or some storm sewer work, uh, but we're kind of waiting on some more information before that that starts. Um any questions on Memorial Highway? No. Okay. First street reconstruction. Last week uh there were they were working on uh water main in phase two, which is shown in blue over in the picture here. This week they're working on the storm sewer on first in red, and they are working on sanitary sewer in the blue area. And then upcoming that we're gonna have roadway preparation in curb and gutter curb and gutter and roadway paving in phase one, getting everything closed back up, as well as storm sewer installation on phase two. So the way that this project is set up is that the contractor can have two phases open at a single time. So if before they open up phase three, they'll have to close up phase one. Before they open up phase four, they'll have to close up phase two, and you know, so on so forth. Um project looking looking forward at this project. We are expecting them around the 4th of July to be uh to have phase one closed up to be possibly closing up phase two, have phase three opened up, and then depending on where phase two is at, have phase four on the brink of being opened up.
