Streets and Sidewalks Committee for 9/14/2026

The City of Troy, Ohio Streets and Sidewalks Committee met on September 14, 2026, to discuss the downtown safety streetscape renovation project. The committee reviewed a request to increase the contract authorization from $12.2 million to $13 million to accommodate higher-than-expected bids and provide flexibility for change orders. The low bidder, Double J Construction, a local contractor with prior experience on similar projects, was discussed along with strategies to value engineer and optimize construction sequencing to minimize downtown disruption. The committee also considered communication plans with downtown property owners and potential shuttle services to alleviate parking challenges during construction. The project is expected to be completed by the end of 2028, with phased construction to maintain some parking availability and pedestrian access. The committee emphasized that no assessments would be levied on downtown business owners for the project costs. The committee appeared supportive of moving forward with the increased budget authorization and contract award to Double J Construction.
