Design Projects

37th Street serves as the City's primary east-west thoroughfare. With the city and region growing at a high rate, the Evans City Council identified this roadway as a must for expansion in order to accommodate current and future traffic needs, facilitate economic expansion, and improve the overall livability of the City. 

Due to the scope of this project, the City is required to conduct expansion work in phases. The first phase, which extended from 47th Avenue in the west to Sienna Avenue and included the construction of the roundabout at 47th Avenue, was completed in 2023. The next section, Phase 2A, widened the roadway from the conclusion of 2023 work at Sienna Avenue east to Stampede Drive, and was completed in 2024. 

In 2025, Phase 2B which widened the roadway to four lanes with a landscaped center median, identical to first two phases, from Stampede Drive to 35th Avenue. 

The next phase of the project, which will take place further west and aims to expand the roadway to four lanes will extend from 65th Avenue east to Arrowhead Drive, is currently in the design phase. Further information will be available about the planning for this phase of the project in early 2026. 

The City constructed a brand-new wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) on 49^th Street just east of 35^th Avenue that came online in September 2018. 

On January 16, 2024, the Evans City Council approved a design contract for expansion of the WWTP with the firm AE2S. Due to the fact that the new WWTP was quickly recognized as not being able to handle expected future capacity requirements, in approving the contract for expansion design services, the Councilmembers were adamant that the expansion project be undertaken in such a way it is assured that the capacity will exist to handle future residential and commercial growth needs as well as regulatory requirements through the year 2042.
