Title
Approving roadway geometry for Regent Street (Randall Avenue to Park Street) (District 8, District 13)
Body
The Regent Street project consists of removing and replacing the sanitary sewer main and laterals, water main and reconnecting services, the storm sewer box culvert as well as storm sewer structures and laterals. The project also includes replacement or installation of street lighting, traffic signals, City fiber optic infrastructure, curb and gutter, sidewalk, bus stops, driveway aprons, gravel base, asphalt pavement, pavement markings, and signing.

The City retained KL Engineering to assist with the project’s planning process. Two public informational meetings were held (September 15, 2025, and January 26, 2026) to present the design and gather public input, along with multiple meetings with businesses along the corridor. The City also presented the project at the Transportation Commission on December 3, 2025 and March 4, 2026.

The geometry for the street is generally proposed with widened sidewalks on both sides of the street, two vehicular travel lanes, left turn lanes, and parking/loading spaces. Additional vehicular lanes are proposed from Mills Street to Park Street.

The following elements will also be included with the Regent Street construction project.
· Randall Avenue (north of Regent Street) - connect existing bike lanes from the Southwest Path to Regent Street.
· Orchard Street (north of Regent Street) - move all parking to the west side to allow for a northbound contraflow bike lane and southbound sharrows.
· Mills Street (north of Regent Street) - remove on-street parking to allow for a buffered bike lane connection to the Southwest Path.
· Randall Avenue (south of Regent Street) - restrict parking and extend bike lanes south to Bowen Court.
· Mills Street (south of Regent Street) - add bike lanes two blocks south to Milton Street.
· Bowen Court - add signing and pavement markings to allow two-w...
