This week the contractor completed all topsoil parkway restorations and the final asphalt pavement installation on First, Pine, and Avon.  The roadways will be open again before the weekend.  Additionally the contractor has now completed the remaining excavation haul-off and rough grading at the basin site.  The landscaper is scheduled to complete the final grading and seed/blanket install of the basin within the next week or two.

All underground utility work has now been completed for the project. The new relief storm sewer piping is “online” and ready in the event of a flood situation.  All concrete restoration (curb, sidewalk, and driveway aprons) has been completed.  Patching of the disturbed roadway will begin along First Street.  The landscape restoration of the detention basin site began and included seed and blanket installation. Cleaning of parkways, milling of the roadway, and installation of the final lift of asphalt are scheduled to take place the week of August 28th (weather permitting.)

Pine/Avon Stormwater Improvement Project:

This week excavation efforts continued in the new stormwater basin.  2 full days of excavation took place which equates to 600 loads (6,000 total cubic yards) leaving the site.  Additionally the new 48” storm sewer installation continued down First Street heading from east to west.  The storm installation will reach Poplar Avenue sometime on Monday, which will mean that the RR crossing will be closed for a few days and detours setup.
