The 2020 CDBG Street Improvements-Federally Funded Project is based upon the City’s approved U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Annual Action Plan (AAP FY 2019/2020) and in accordance with the Five-Year Consolidated Plan (CP).

The existing concrete and roadway infrastructure in this area was constructed in the early 1950’s. The asphalt paving in the project area has severe structural failures, cracks and surface deterioration that warrant the need for reconstruction. Additionally, concrete walkways and curbs have deteriorated and need replacement. The existing sidewalks have exposed aggregates, missing and cracked panels, and trip hazards resulting in pedestrian facilities that do not function as designed. The curb and gutter within this area has deteriorated as well and does not drain as designed in many areas.

For D Street and 16th Street, the scope of work for this project involves the removal and replacement of existing curb, gutter, and sidewalk. Existing catch basins and service laterals will be replaced. The roadway will be pulverized, repaved, and new striping will be installed. For the section of 15th Street, the scope of work for this project involves removal and replacement of existing curb, gutter, and sidewalk. The project area is located entirely within the City of Sparks Town Center Redevelopment Area, also referred to as Redevelopment Area 1.
