LAKEPORT, Calif. – The Lakeport City Council this will will get an update from city staff on the work to improve a portion of Lakeport's downtown business district.
The council will meet beginning at 6 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 17, in the council chambers at Lakeport City Hall, 225 Park St.
Community Development Director Kevin Ingram will provide the council with the status update on the second phase of the city's Downtown Improvement Project and discuss next steps.
Ingram's written report to the council explains that the project consists of a three-block area on North Main Street between First and Fourth streets.
He said proposed improvements consist of the demolition of existing sidewalks and construction of new 12-foot-wide sidewalks, new handicap ramps at intersections, new street trees, new irrigation lines, new sidewalk tree grates and adjacent decorative sidewalk surfaces, relocation of existing decorative street lights and power supply, new storm drainage inlets and lines, limited new water and sewer infrastructure, and reconstruction and restriping of Main Street.
Ingram will review the proposed project design, construction phasing and scheduling, and will touch on the input from local business owners and community members gathered at an Oct. 7 city presentation and open house.
Also on Tuesday, Police Chief Brad Rasmussen will ask for the council's approval to upgrade the Nixle account at a cost of approximately $1700 for this fiscal year.
Nixle is used by the Lakeport Police Department to send emergency updates and news releases to the community.
