Construction Coming to an End.

The last few weeks the contractor has been trying to get as much of the project completed as possible prior to the construction season ending. The cold weather we experienced over the past few weeks came a little sooner than expected. Nonetheless, all the work anticipated to be completed was done.

The concrete curb & gutter and first layer of asphalt pavement was completed on Westview Road from the cul-de-sac to Glenarye Drive prior to the Thanksgiving Holiday.

The asphalt pavement surface layer was installed on Central Road, Glendale Drive, and Westview Road. A temporary asphalt surface layer was installed along Glenayre Drive at Glenview. The restoration of asphalt driveways was also completed.

Other work completed through the week included landscape grading and installation of topsoil, pouring benches in manholes, installing chimney seals in manholes, removing debris from catch basins and inlets, adjusting fire hydrant elevations, general site clean-up, and removing equipment from job site. The contractor also installed a strip of erosion control blanket approximately 3 feet wide adjacent to the concrete curb & gutter where the sod will not be installed this year. This is be prevent washout of the topsoil on the roadway. The concrete contractor also applied a protective coating on the concrete curb & gutter, driveways, and sidewalks.

Anticipated work to be completed this construction season includes the following:

·         Internal Televising of storm and sanitary sewers.

·         Re-Install street signs.

·         Pavement markings.

·         Site clean-up. 

Work to be completed in Spring of 2015 (As part of Phase I Improvements):

·         Reconstruction of Glenayre Drive from Glenview Road to Westview Road including concrete curb & gutter, new aggregate base course, asphalt pavement, and landscape restoration

·         Sod restoration not completed this year. 

Phase II Improvement along Glenayre Drive, Glenridge Drive, and Glen Court will be bid during the Spring of 2015 with construction to begin in the spring or summer of 2015.

Thank you again for all your patience and understanding through this construction season. It was greatly appreciated.

Following the installation of the concrete curb & gutter the week of November 3^rd, the contractor continued with the roadway reconstruction of Glendale Drive from Central Road to Westview Road.

Last week, the first layer of asphalt pavement was installed along the remaining portions of Central Road and Glendale Drive from Central Road to Westview Road.

The contractor also continued with landscape grading, installing topsoil, and laying sod along Central Road and Glendale Drive The contractor will continue with landscape restoration this week with the hopes of having all the sod installed by the end of the week in this area. The sod will be evaluated again in the spring to ensure a healthy stand of grass is established and repair any areas that have settled.

By the end of this week, the contractor is anticipating to have all of the underground utility work completed associated with this project. There are only a few minor items remaining to be completed.

The contractor also started the roadway reconstruction process along Westview Road from the west end towards Glenayre Drive.

This week, the schedule includes concrete curb & gutter being installed along Westview Road on Monday or Tuesday, November 17^th or 18^th. The contractor will continue with the roadway grading following the concrete curb & gutter installation. The first layer of asphalt pavement is currently scheduled for the end of this week or beginning of the week of November 24^th.

The current schedule includes installing the final asphalt surface layer on all roadways with concrete curb & gutter that have been previously paved with the first layer of asphalt. This work is scheduled for the first week of December.

As evident by the falling temperatures, the construction season is coming to an end. The contractor is committed to getting as much work completed this year as possible and weather permits. We are still evaluating the extents of the work that will be completed. Whatever roadway reconstruction is not completed this year, a temporary asphalt surface will be installed for easier travel and snow-plowing operations. The roadway improvements will then be completed in 2015 and the temporary asphalt will remain in place until the roadway is reconstructed.

Thank you again for all your patience and understanding throughout the entire construction process, it has been greatly appreciated. We do understand what a huge inconvenience living in and around a construction site can be. We hope you are satisfied with the end result as the asphalt pavement and landscape restoration is being completed.
