DEPARTMENT: Transportation, Engineering and Development
SUBMITTED BY: Sydney Smith, Transportation Project Manager
BACKGROUND:
When subdivisions approach build-out and the streets have been turned to the City for maintenance, staff evaluated the area to establish basic right of way controls. Naper Commons has their roads finished and build out completed in June 2025.
