The Kenai City Council is scheduled to consider an addition to a 2016 Kenai Spur Highway project, the lease of the city’s only bowling alley, and introduce an ordinance regarding junk vehicles.
The Department of Transportation’s Project Manager Morgan Merritt is slated to present a proposed addition of two culvert repairs to a road project planned through Kenai next summer.
Merritt: “Basically where the road becomes a four lane section, it’s the entire four lane length. Our repaving project will start just past where it expands into a four lane road with the center turn lane, so the entire five-lane section, in effect, will be repaved next summer.”
He says both culverts that need work cross the Kenai Spur Highway, one near the Walmart intersection and one near the Forest intersection.
Merritt says it makes more sense to perform the maintenance while the highway is already under construction and the addition should not extend the project’s time frame.
In other Kenai matters, an executive session is scheduled for Wednesday’s meeting to discuss delinquent lease payments from the bowling alley Alaskalanes to the City of Kenai.
And finally, an ordinance is up for introduction to regulate how Kenai residents have to care for their “junk” or “abandoned” vehicles.
The Kenai City Council will meet at their new time, 6:00 pm, Wednesday, November 4, in the Kenai Council Chambers.
