CITY OF LITTLE CANADA Little Canada Road Improvements Issue No. 2 — September 22, 2000 Construction Notes The Little Canada Road Improvements project is proceeding on the anticipated schedule. Construction began in late August and it is anticipated that the street will be paved by the end of October. Questions Property owners with questions about the project should call Howard R. Green Company's representatives –Terry Maurer, City Engineer, or Lee Elfering, Project Engineer, at (651) 644 -4389, or Lyle Splittstoser, Project Inspector, at (612) 963 -7188, for construction related questions. Feel free to talk to any of these individuals about issues or concerns you may have about the project. Construction Update A majority of the private utility work has been completed along Little Canada Road. The private utility work remaining involves the switching of private overhead electric services to underground services. It is anticipated that the overhead lines and utility poles will be removed by the by end of October. The underground utility work, including watermain, sanitary sewer, and storm sewer installation is anticipated to be completed by the end of next week. Street subcutting and grading have already started and gravel will begin to be placed in another week on portions of Little Canada Road as the street grading is completed. The contractor will attempt to minimize disturbance of landscaping and lawn areas as grading of the street progresses. However, please keep in mind that the contractor will be using equipment that requires considerable area in which to work. Matching to existing lawns requires wider areas to be disturbed along portions of the street. Please keep in mind that all areas disturbed will be restored and receive seed or sod after the grading has been completed. Tentative Schedule As discussed above it is anticipated that the underground work will be completed by the end of next week. The subcutting and grading of the street will follow along with the placement of gravel. It is anticipated that curb and gutter will be constructed the middle of October. The first two lifts of bituminous will be placed following curb construction. The final lift of bituminous will be constructed in the spring of 2001. Please travel at a reduced speed through the work zone and pay close attention to the detour signage as it will be modified as work progresses to direct traffic to the safest and quickest route within the construction area. As with any construction work, the schedule and completion of the project will be somewhat dependent on the weather. If we have any significant precipitation, the construction site may need to dry out prior to continuing work. We ask for your patience with weather delays throughout this project. / /( /// We urge you to use caution around the work site. Your assistance in reminding area children to stay clear of construction equipment is helpful in maintaining a safe environment. Your continued patience and r d cooperation during this construction is appreciated. Watch for future issues of this newsletter for updates on the progress of the project. Page, 87
