OFFICE OF THE CITY MANAGER
March 18, 2016
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Alan Tandy, City Manager AT
SUBJECT: General Information
Notable Items
Good news! Last evening the Kern Council of Governments (Kern COG) awarded the City in
the amount of $2.655 million in Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Improvement (CMAQ)
funds for the Truxtun Avenue Operational Improvements Project. As part of the Thomas
Roads Improvement Program (TRIP), this award replaces local funds that would have been
contributed to the project; thus, reducing the City’s overall debt obligation.
This project will extend the improvements to Truxtun Avenue, performed as part of the
Westside Parkway Phase 4 project, east through the Oak Street intersection. The project will
make improvements to the Truxtun Avenue/Oak Street intersection and widen Truxtun Avenue to three lanes in each direction from just west of the State Route 99 overcrossing to
east of Oak Street.
In addition, the curve at the Truxtun Avenue/Westwind Drive intersection will be modified, and the project will construct a right-turn deceleration lane for westbound traffic turning
north onto Westwind Drive.
A special thanks to Kern COG’s Board and staff members for their support!
A remarkable 25 candidates have been certified to run for Mayor. Attached is the list of candidates to be included in the Primary Municipal Election on June 7, 2016. If a candidate
does not receive over 50% of the vote, the two candidates with the most votes will have a runoff in the General Election on November 1, 2016.
