Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in City of West Fargo public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
Beaton Drive reconstruction
Reconstruction of Beaton Drive from Sheyenne Street to the Sheyenne River was up for protest determination and approval as Improvement District No. 3010. Affected property owners could see the cost on special assessments.
9th Street NE Grade Separation Contract
City Engineer Jerry Wallace was scheduled to present a bridge conduit change order on this grade-separation project, which separates road traffic from the railroad at 9th Street NE.
2027 Mill and Overlay Street Projects
Four 2027 repaving projects were scheduled for setup: collector streets (9th St W, 4th St E, 36th Ave E) and neighborhoods in Westport Beach, The Wilds, and West River. Creating the improvement districts starts the engineering and assessment process for those neighborhoods.
9th Street NE grade separation (Improvement District 2293)
The commission accepted the bid and awarded the contract for a grade separation on 9th Street NE — a major rail/traffic safety project. Construction should reduce conflicts where the road crosses the railroad.
Meadow Ridge and 1st Avenue East reconstructions
The commission was scheduled to consider a resolution and bid award for reconstructing 1st Ave E between Sheyenne Street and 4th Street East, with the award contingent on state environmental review approval. Drivers in that corridor could see construction begin soon.
6th Street and 23rd Avenue East intersection improvements
The commission was scheduled to accept a bid and award a contract for intersection improvements at a busy east-side junction. Construction could mean detours and delays but improved traffic flow afterward.
9th St NE Grade Separation
Project No. 2293 would build a grade separation where 9th Street NE crosses the railroad. The agenda included overpass and C&M agreements.
52nd Ave & 9th St W Intersection Improvements (ID 2288)
The commission denied the proposed intersection improvement project, stopping the work from moving forward. Commissioner Olson was the lone vote to continue it.
Neighborhood pavement rehabilitation districts (2294, 2296, 2297)
The South Pond neighborhood was scheduled to move forward with pavement rehabilitation through bid acceptance and contract award.
