August 4, 2026 City Council Meeting

The City Council meeting of Paso Robles, California, held on August 4, 2026, included several procurement and capital project discussions. Key procurement-related actions included the approval of a professional services agreement with Wallace Group for a State Route 46 East Airport Road undercrossing feasibility study, valued at $356,583. This study aims to evaluate multiple alternatives for improving traffic flow and infrastructure near the airport and surrounding areas, with a focus on cost-effective solutions compared to a previously proposed $150 million overcrossing project. The council debated the scope of the study, ultimately approving the full scope minus one alternative alignment, emphasizing the need for a comprehensive approach to meet Caltrans requirements and future development needs. Additionally, the council awarded a construction contract to WestRock for West Side Street repairs and approved an agreement with San Luis Obispo County for administration of federal community development block grant funds. The meeting also featured updates on ongoing capital projects, including street repairs and airport improvements, and discussions on future infrastructure planning and community engagement initiatives.
