The project is slated to begin March 14 and continue through late summer or early fall, according to an update from City Manager Ashley Feeney during Thursday’s City Council meeting.

“There will be some lane closures involved,” said Feeney, noting “there will always be one lane open on Greenback each way during that work.”

The project, called the Greenback Lane Complete Streets Project, will include storm drain upgrades, new curb ramps, electrical upgrades to traffic signals, utility upgrades and full roadway repaving from Fair Oaks Boulevard to Sunrise Boulevard. Intersection reconstruction will include “accessibility upgrades, improved operations, pedestrian and bicycle safety upgrades.”

The City Council in January awarded a $3 million contract to McGuire and Hester for completing the Greenback Lane project. The council also approved a related $335,000 contract with Psomas for construction management.
