City of Coeur d'Alene -City Council Meeting - October 20, 2026

The City of Coeur d’Alene City Council meeting on October 20, 2026, approved Resolution 26-082, authorizing a $49,600 contract with J-U-B Engineers, Inc. to design a traffic signal at Prairie Avenue and Corselles Parkway. The project addresses safety concerns at the intersection and involves shared jurisdiction with Hayden and the Post Falls Highway District; a separate partnering agreement for project funding is expected later. The council also approved the consent calendar, including Resolution 26-081 for the annual allocation of Community Development Block Grant funds; specific award amounts were listed in the meeting packet but were not stated in the transcript.

The council heard that a city-park promenade plan is expected by early spring, with the project potentially going out to bid then and renovations beginning in the fall. In another infrastructure-related decision, the council approved an appeal to remove a public Douglas fir at 801 East St. Mary’s Avenue, conditioned on sidewalk replacement, an ADA-accessible ramp, and planting at least a medium-sized replacement tree within a reasonable time. Staff noted existing cost-share programs that may reimburse up to $600 for tree removal and up to $1,000 for sidewalk replacement. The council also adopted amendments aligning the municipal code’s Fire Marshal duties with an earlier department restructuring.
