Council reviews $100K design budget for Brant Pike–Myers access improvements

Russ told council the project would modify the Brant Pike/ Myers access intersection to add a left-turn lane from the gas-station access and a right-turn lane on the exit, remove part of the grass median and revise traffic-signal heads. Three engineering proposals were received; Client Manager Group was the lowest responsive proposer at $81,250 and staff recommends a not-to-exceed design budget of $100,000 to be paid from the capital improvement fund.

Russ said design work aims to be completed by December–January with bidding targeted for February and construction next summer, subject to procurement and scheduling. Council members raised sight-line and stop-bar concerns and asked staff to consider signal placement and stop-bar adjustments.
