Community Redevelopment Agency Meeting · 2026-06-22 · agenda_packet

The Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) agenda for June 22, 2026, includes an evaluation and repair strategy for permeable paver intersections along St. Johns Avenue. These seven intersections, located at 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th, 10th, and 11th Streets, were part of a 2022 streetscape project and are experiencing structural deterioration, including cracked pavers, rutting, and displaced utility structures. A phased approach is recommended, starting with investigation and design (Phase 1), estimated to cost $644,940 including contingency, to determine a permanent repair solution. The CRA Board is asked to authorize Phase 1, which involves surveying, geotechnical testing, engineering redesign, and permitting. Construction (Phase 2) will follow upon approval of Phase 1 findings. Public comment from Ms. Kitchens at a prior meeting (May 18, 2026) emphasized the importance of considering contractor quality alongside cost for projects and suggested drought-resistant trees for future plantings. Another prior public comment from Ms. Kitchens (May 18, 2026) expressed concern about altering historic structures and suggested temporary barriers for events at the Bronson-Mulholland House. Ms. Grace of the Historical Society also opposed permanent railings at the Bronson-Mulholland House but supported exploring alternatives. The document also mentions a discussion regarding a potential framework for City-CRA responsibility for historic and cultural facilities, including the Bronson-Mulholland House, Tilghman House, and Larimer Arts Center.
