- July 17, 2021 – City Council Workshop staff briefed on the Street Assessment
- During the fall of 2021 Alderman Kuykendall worked with staff to prepare Street Planning and possible financing options.
- January 10, 2022 – City Council Workshop – Council considered several Strategic Planning Initiatives with focus on Street Way Ahead. This workshop was supported by Frost Bank Financial Advisors who assisted in debt funding scenarios of 5 to 7 years. These options to finance debt over 5 or 7 years did not offer significant advantages in terms of financing and it was clear the total costs of the project would be significantly more than a one-year option. Council directed a one-time financing option be prepared and briefed.
