The board will hear William Fotey, Jr.'s request for off-street parking relief for additional front-yard parking at 104 Kentucky Street. This is a private site-change item, not a city purchase, but it shows a small capital need tied to parking layout and driveway work. The September 24, 2026 hearing is the next decision point.

GoTriangle ratified Task Orders 1 through 14 under its on-call architectural and engineering agreement with DRMP, Inc. The task orders supported planning, engineering, consulting, and preparation of design and construction documents for bus stop improvements. The master services agreement had expired in December 2023, but the ratification shows the agency still has a documented need tied to transit stop work and related follow-on design support.
