Fircrest adopts six-year transportation program as Regents Boulevard work advances
Fircrest approved a six-year transportation program Tuesday, June 23, 2026, while separate city actions advanced several projects tied to Regents Boulevard.
The 2027-2032 Transportation Improvement Program was approved through Resolution 2031. The program establishes the city’s transportation priorities for the six-year period, including the roadway and capital work Fircrest plans to address during those years.
Regents Boulevard work moves through approvals
Fircrest’s resolution archive lists three Regents Boulevard-related actions in May and June 2026. Resolution 2028, dated May 26, awarded the Regents Boulevard grind-and-overlay project. Resolution 2029, also dated May 26, approved construction management for that project.
A grind-and-overlay project generally involves removing or grinding down part of an existing roadway surface and placing new pavement over it. The city’s resolution listing confirms the project award and construction-management action, but it does not establish that the work is complete.
The archive also lists Resolution 2025, dated May 12, concerning a Regents Boulevard water-turnaround project. That action is separate from the grind-and-overlay award and construction-management contract, but it adds another roadway-related project to the city’s 2026 schedule of resolutions.
What the actions mean for Fircrest
Together, the transportation program and Regents Boulevard resolutions shape roadway conditions, construction activity, capital priorities and future transportation spending in Fircrest. The decisions are relevant to residents and commuters who use the boulevard, as well as to the city’s longer-term planning for transportation improvements.
The June 23 program approval and the May project resolutions represent different stages of city action. The transportation program sets a six-year planning framework. The Regents Boulevard resolutions address specific project steps: a water-turnaround project, a bid award for grind-and-overlay work and construction management.
The city has not provided a construction calendar, lane-closure schedule, total program cost or final contractor price in the listed resolutions. Those details would determine when residents and commuters might see work in the corridor, how traffic could be affected and how much of the city’s transportation spending is connected to the projects.
For now, the confirmed next step is implementation of the actions already approved: carrying forward the 2027-2032 transportation program and advancing the Regents Boulevard work under its awarded construction and management arrangements. No completion date is established by the resolutions listed in the city archive.
