North 3 UEP – Status Update 01-15-2026

  • Current Phase: Still in Design Stages with final design in early 2026.

  • Design delays are due to roadway revisions for multi-use paths, added utilities for Coral Oaks Golf Course, and roundabouts.

  • The City now anticipates:

  1. Bidding in 2026.

  2. Construction starting in late 2026 or early 2027.

  3. Construction completion by the end of 2028.

What Residents Can Expect During Construction

  • Utility locates, surveying, and staging before work begins.

  • Temporary traffic changes, noise, and driveway access adjustments.

  • Installation of underground utilities followed by roadway restoration.

  • Final cleanup and resurfacing after construction is complete.

Work typically progresses block by block to limit long-term disruption.

Program Management Update

The City has issued a procurement for a Program Manager at Risk (PMAR) to help oversee the UEP program. While this reflects the City’s intent to explore this approach, no final decision has been made on whether North 3 will be delivered under a PMAR.
