Updated Streets and Sidewalks page
July
16, 2013
All,
This
is the 9th update on the Sunset Street Wide Sidewalk project. Better progress was made by the contractor
last week, and their plans show them working consistently through this week as
well. Through last week, the contractor
has used 30 of their allotted 45 "working days." As of the end of the day Monday (yesterday),
completed work included the underground storm sewer installations, and most of
the work associated with installing new retaining wall blocks at the Benton
Street corner. There were also several phone service lines that Century Link
buried at the end of last week.
At
our meeting with the contractor this morning, they indicated plans to work on
the following items this week:
1.
Relocate
fire hydrant south of Highland Drive.
2.
Paving
contractor to be on-site to continue paving sections of sidewalk south of
Highland Drive, and also south curb ramp at Oakcrest Avenue.
3.
Begin
working at the SW corner of the Melrose/Sunset intersection (pavement
removal/grading).
4.
Prepare
remaining open sections of the sidewalk alignment by smoothing and compacting
the dirt grade in advance of the paving.
Please
let me know if you have any questions, thanks.
