2) The anticipated budget increase necessary to fully fund the 40th Street Shared Use Path Project between 156th Avenue NE and 163rd Avenue NE so it can advance toward an award of contract with a full project contingency.
3) An updated cost will be provided to Council for funding approval in late Spring/early Summer 2022 at award of the construction contract (after City has received construction bids for project).
