- 4 - B. DEMONT AVENUE Demont Avenue from McMenemy Street to Savage Lane is an urban roadway with concrete curb and gutter measuring approximately 27 feet wide between the surmountable curbs. The approximate street length is 1,200 feet and the roadway lies within a 66 foot right-of-way. The street was last improved around 1987. The surmountable curb that was installed was very aggressive for driveway access. Shortly after construction City Public Works crews ground down driveway access locations to provide for smoother access to homes. Since that time normal chip seal and crack sealing has been completed by the City along with a large patch at the intersection of Morrison Avenue. Demont Avenue has experienced quite severe delamination of the chip seal surface, which is likely a result of a failure of the top of the pavement surface and not a result of a poor chip sealing practice. There is also significant cracking along the length of the street. In general the west end of the street is in better shape than the middle and east portions of the roadway. All properties are served with sanitary sewer and watermain along the project length and service stubs are available for the subdividable portion of the lot at the northeast corner of Demont Avenue and Morrision Street. A storm sewer system exists that serves the street and includes five curb inlets and two manholes. C. MORRISON AVENUE Morrison Avenue from Demont Avenue south to the cul-de-sac is an urban street section with a bituminous width of approximately 27 feet and surmountable concrete curb and gutter on both sides. The cul-de-sac at the south end of the street does not have curb and gutter. The total length of the road is approximately 1,350-feet. The road right-of-way width is 66-feet along its entire length including the cul-de-sac portion of the street. The street was improved the same time as Demont Avenue and has the same aggressive concrete curb profile that was ground down at the driveway locations. The street is showing similar deterioration as Demont Avenue including spalling and flaking of the bituminous surface and alligator cracking. Similar to Demont Avenue the spalling of the chip seal surface is likely due to a failing of the upper surface of the bituminous and not a failure of the chip seal itself. In general the street deterioration is the most extensive between Demont Avenue and Brooks Avenue East, and has less sever deterioration as you move south of Brooks Avenue East. Sanitary sewer and water service are provided to all properties. The property at 333 Brooks Avenue East is subdividable based on its size and current building locations, however review of the City’s previous improvement files indicate that a restriction was recorded against the property to prevent subdividing and no additional sanitary or water stubs exist to the property. There is a storm sewer system serving the street that ultimately discharges to the wetland to the south.
