Updates to University Heights website:

Updated Streets and Sidewalks page
August 7, 2013

This is update #12 for the Sunset Street Wide Sidewalk project.

The focus for the contractors this week is to complete all remaining sidewalk paving, including the remaining curb ramps at the Melrose, Oakcrest, and Benton intersections.  This paving work is already underway with some sections of sidewalk and curbs already poured on Monday and Tuesday of this week.  While the paving work is occurring, the general contractor indicates they will continue backfilling and grading along each side of the sidewalk, and cleaning up the site in general.  At each intersection, there are also several signs to be replaced and new crosswalk pavement markings to be painted.  The contractor indicates they may start on the sign/cross-walk work on Friday, or beginning of next week.  The significant restoration remaining after that is sodding and planting of trees.  The sodding work is allowed to start after September 1, and the tree planting can start after October 1.

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