Fircrest Regents Blvd West grind/overlay + ADA updates: June 15–Aug 21

Construction is underway on Regents Boulevard West in Fircrest, and the city says the work is planned to start June 15, 2026 and reach a completion target of August 21, 2026. Because this is more than just resurfacing, residents, commuters, and people who rely on accessible curb ramps and crossings should expect changes along the corridor during the project window.

What’s happening on Regents Boulevard West

Fircrest Public Works describes the project as an asphalt overlay effort paired with transportation and accessibility updates. The scope listed on the city’s capital projects page includes:

• Asphalt overlay (grind/overlay resurfacing)
• ADA facility updates
• Bike lane additions
• Utility structure adjustments
• Striping updates
• Replacement of traffic-signal detection loops, as necessary

The state Transportation Improvement Board (TIB) dashboard provides more technical project-description detail for the same work, identifying it as a 2-inch grind and overlay with 9 ADA ramp upgrades on Regents Boulevard from Alameda Ave to 67th Ave.

Schedule: June 15 start, Aug. 21 target completion

On its project materials, the city lists construction to begin June 15, 2026 and completion scheduled for August 21, 2026. Schedules can shift in real projects, so the best planning approach is to follow the city’s posted project updates and the traffic-control signage placed along the corridor as work progresses.

Separately, the TIB dashboard shows the project is currently in the construction phase and lists a project closeout target of December 31, 2026.

Who got selected (and what the city approved)

Fircrest City Council’s procurement records show how the project was awarded and overseen:

• Resolution No. 2028 (approved May 26, 2026) authorizes the city manager to execute a public works contract with Miles Resources, LLC. The resolution states the bid amount is $1,066,244.30.
• Resolution No. 2029 (approved May 26, 2026) authorizes a professional services agreement with David Evans and Associates, Inc. (DEA) for construction management services during the construction phase.

What to watch for during construction

During the work on Regents Boulevard West, navigation can look different even when full corridor closures aren’t guaranteed. People who walk the corridor, use mobility devices, bike through Fircrest, or depend on accessible curb ramps should watch for temporary changes that may affect how and where you cross or approach curb ramps during construction activities.
