  • Five miles of culvert drainage pipe
  • Twelve drainage (stormwater) detention ponds
  • Emergency traffic signal to be installed at Citizens Parkway for Fire/EMS
  • 6.3 miles of Type "F" curb and gutter
  • Approximately 14,347 tons of asphalt

What will the road look like?

You can see what the initial design of the road will look like projected over the current roadway by viewing the Price Boulevard Map Projection(PDF, 9MB). Additionally, you can see what a typical section of the road will look like both on the main strip and approaching intersections by viewing the Price Boulevard Typical Section and Intersection Infographic(PDF, 490KB).

Temporary Construction Easement

Property owners on Price Boulevard will need to sign and return a Temporary Construction Easement and Right of Entry form, which gives the City temporary permission to access your property, primarily to remove and reconstruct a new driveway and do ancillary work to adjust your front yard to meet the new road and sidewalk.

    Thank you for your question. The shared use path is feasible on the south side of Price Boulevard. We recommended the north side to have vehicles 8’ further away from homes, due to the 8’ shared use path, and because of proximity to potential users from the properties on the north side.

  • Share We are wondering about who to talk with regarding our sprinkler system during this project. Are we to move sprinkler heads….we live on Price Blvd. and want to make sure we are taking care of things as needed.

    Thank you for your question. The contractor will damage irrigation systems with the road and utility construction.  However, you are not required to move your irrigation system.  The contractor will temporarily cap any exposed portion of the system within the construction limits so the remainder of your system can operate.  Your irrigation will be repaired by the contractor prior to sod installation.  If you have any follow up questions, please reach out to Jason.

    Thank you for your question.  The assessment is due in October 2025.  A mailing will be sent in September 2025 describing the payment options.  

    1. Pay entire amount within 30 days upon receiving the bill to avoid future interest charges.
    2. Pay minimum 25% of the amount and the balance rolls to property taxes over 15 years.
    3. Roll entire amount to property taxes over 15 years.
    4. Payments may be deferred if 65 years of age or older and meet specific income requirements. 


    The previous assessment policy is not financially or legally sustainable. Therefore, the Council approved a street reconstruction funding transition from 100% special assessments to 100% taxes with a transition period of 16-years.  Recent estimates for prior special assessments in neighborhoods with homes of all sizes had climbed to over 30,000, a figure that was not sustainable. Under State Statutes, the City can assess properties for public improvements, but the benefit to property values must be equal to or greater than the assessment. As assessments climb, it may be difficult for the City to prove the market benefit.  See this link for more details.

    Thanks for your question. The project area will be divided into multiple phases so the entire neighborhood won’t be disturbed the entire summer. The contractor will decide how the project will be phased, and when to begin each phase. We won’t know which streets the contractor will start on until April 2024 after the contractor bidding is complete.
