AI Summary
This bill establishes new requirements for the Department of Highways regarding "resurfacing projects," which are defined as any work on a state-maintained highway that improves the paved surface and permanently reduces the number of through traffic lanes. Specifically, the department must notify the mayor or chief administrative officer of any affected city at least 60 days before a resurfacing project is put out for bid, providing details about the project, the planned lane configuration after completion, and supporting design plans. Cities receiving this notice have 30 days to submit written feedback on the project, including concerns about local traffic, safety, economic impacts, or suggestions for alternative designs. The department is required to consider this feedback and provide a formal response to any city that submits comments, though it is not obligated to change the project based on that feedback.
