3 issues in roads
Abandoned vehicles and pothole hazard on flooded roads
Weeks of rain saturated the ground, and traffic over softened roads is creating potholes citywide — some hidden underwater. Crews are making temporary and long-term repairs, and more potholes are expected as the ground dries.
McCarty Road PUD amendment and East-West Five construction
A big swap: 209 fewer homes (townhomes to single-family) in exchange for the developer building nearly half a mile of East-West Five and dedicating road right-of-way — key pieces of the westside road network.
Mackey Marshall road and Southern Grove infrastructure complete
The city is fronting up to $20.3 million so Mattamy Homes can finish the missing north-south link between Crosstown Parkway and Discovery by the end of 2027 — something the original development schedule didn't require until 11 years later. It means faster routes, better fire/EMS response, and enables the planned western fire station and school site.
