• Sunset Sidewalk Construction Update #7

June 18, 2013

All,

This is the 7th weekly update on the Sunset Street Wide Sidewalk project.  Through last week, the contractor has used 19 of their allotted 45 "working days".  Work last week focused on the segment south of Oakcrest Avenue preparing the grade for the new sidewalk alignment, rebuilding the street curb on the south corner of Oakcrest, and beginning demolition work of fence and retaining wall at the Sunset/Benton intersection.

The contractor indicates planned work for this week includes:

1. Storm sewer work and fire hydrant relocation between Highland and Oakcrest.
2. Continue demolition and grading at the Sunset/Benton corner to prepare for new retaining wall installation.
3. Paving sidewalk south of Highland Drive, and perhaps some sidewalk just south of Oakcrest Avenue.
4. Continued work by Mid-American to set new poles and move their lines to the new poles, and hopefully appearances by Mediacom, Qwest, and Windstream to move their overhead lines from the old poles to the new poles so that Mid-American can remove the old poles.

Please let me know if you have any questions, thanks.
