This project includes the rehabilitation of the West Vernon Place Subdivision’s street and drainage system. The scope of work includes the replacement of curb/gutters and ADA ramps as required; a 2-inch mill/overlay (depending upon the results of pavement cores); and stormwater improvements, including a water quality Best Management Practice (BMP).

At the February 9, 2026 City Council meeting, Council reviewed survey results, listened to residents, and discussed whether to install sidewalks and remove islands or leave them in place. The City Council approved removal of the W. 65th Drive and W. 66th Terrace islands and voted not to construct sidewalks with the West Vernon Place Improvements Project. The Mastin Drive island and W. 65th Place island will remain in place.
