Additional Backup Information:
Central Health will fund and construct a new alignment of Red River Street between 12th and 15th Streets as part of the Health District’s project to redevelop its campus.
The existing Red River alignment between 12th and 15th Street will be reconstructed as a public plaza, limiting vehicle access for authorized purposes only, once the entire new Red River Street is open and complete. Development activities by Central Health and other area projects, are anticipated to achieve the realignment of River Street and the decommissioning and conversion of the existing Red River Street into the future pedestrian plaza.
Additional information related to the terms of the proposed agreement will be attached prior to Council consideration.
