Council approves $15.5M Type B amendment for transportation right‑of‑way purchases

Council approved a Type B amendment to add $15.5 million to the city’s transportation capital program for additional right‑of‑way acquisitions.

Staff said the Type B Board had previously allocated $2 million for initial right‑of‑way on Kenny Fort; after design and appraisal work the city is requesting an additional $10 million for Kenny Fort segments 5 and 6 and $5.5 million for the Wyoming Springs extension (bringing Wyoming Springs total right‑of‑way allocation to $7.5 million). Staff explained some corridors require 120–150 feet of right‑of‑way and that updated appraisals drove the additional request. "We are asking for an additional $10,000,000 to be allocated for future right of way," staff told council while explaining project needs.

Council voted to approve the Type B amendment; staff said the request aligns with the transportation master plan and long‑range capital scheduling.
