Neighborhoods where scheduled infrastructure work has been programmed (storm water/sewer improvements and water main replacement/installations) are also scheduled for street reconstructions under separate bids. These Infrastructure Coordination Efficiencies (ICE) seek to schedule and perform multiple infrastructure repairs in close sequence, negating the need to disrupt streets and inconvenience residents year after year to complete various neighborhood infrastructure repairs. Several neighborhoods are included in the infrastructure coordination: 167th Place and a portion of Robinhood Drive in Fernway Subdivision, 104th Avenue sout...
