Every project links to the city packet it came from.

Ordinance 766-2026 was introduced to authorize the Director of Capital Projects to issue a permit to UC City Center LLC for encroachment into the public rights-of-way of Chester Avenue, Martin Luther King Jr. Drive, and Stokes Boulevard.

What happened

An ordinance was introduced to allow UC City Center LLC to encroach into public rights-of-way for a project impacting Chester Avenue, Martin Luther King Jr. Drive, and Stokes Boulevard.

Why it matters

Right-of-way encroachment permits are often precursors to new construction or significant renovation projects, as they allow for temporary staging, utility work, or building protrusions into public areas. This implies upcoming construction activity.

Timing

The ordinance is introduced for approval. Once approved, the underlying construction project that necessitates the encroachment permit will likely move forward for permitting and execution in the coming months.
