9-25 Linda Court & Thelen Avenue Utility Relay Update

• Al Dix Concrete – Will be working on Henry Street this week to pour concrete patches near the curb, as well as at the endpoints of their work near Glenview and Parkwood. Remaining areas of Henry that aren’t replaced with concrete will be patched with a thin layer of asphalt, then topped with an additional 2” of asphalt across the entire road width by Northeast Asphalt to create a uniform, smooth driving surface.

• Northeast Asphalt – Northeast Asphalt is on site this morning to begin their prep work for asphalt paving. They will be on site various days throughout the week to complete their work. Please do not park on the street while they are working. All gravel areas need to be prepped and paved. If everything goes well, all streets could be completed by the end of the week. Sidewalks will be completed later by Scott Lamers as private sewer work progresses.

• Scott Lamers Construction – Will be coming to the job site the week of August 18^th. They have/will be contacting you to set up appointments to check out existing conditions in the basement and to complete the work. The plan is to complete Linda Court first, then begin working on Thelen Avenue from Ann toward Henry. Grass restoration and asphalt sidewalks will follow private work.

General Notes

DRIVEWAYS/PARKING – Please do not park on the road while the contractor is performing their work in the area. They need plenty of room for their trucks and equipment to be able to easily, quickly, and safely complete their work. Park in your driveway if possible, or on the nearest side street.

• If you need special accommodations for parking, please reach out as we can arrange different parking options. This includes anyone with disabilities, recent surgeries, expecting mothers, and mothers with newborns that have appointments. Unfortunately, there is no “one size fits all” for parking and property access. The fewer cars that the contractor has to work around, the faster they can get the work done on your block and move on.

WORK ZONE SAFETY – While driving through the construction site, be sure to travel slowly and keep an eye out for equipment. This not only cuts down on dust, but also keeps the construction workers safe. Operators try their best to see traffic, but their view can be obstructed at times. It is always best to try and gain eye contact with equipment operators prior to driving by. You may need to wait at times before driving by depending on the work being performed. Please be patient during construction.

*  PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS WORK AND SCHEDULE CAN CHANGE DUE TO WEATHER OR UNFORSEEN CONSTRUCTION DELAYS. THESE UPDATES ARE TO AID THE COMMUNICATION PROCESS AS WE ALL WORK TOGETHER TO COMPLETE THIS PROJECT IN A TIMELY MANNER  *

Utility and Street Construction is not easy. There will be dirt, mud, dust, equipment, and workers everywhere. Construction activity will be noisy, and getting to your residence will be difficult at times. We understand that it can be frustrating while it happens, but we ask for your patience and understanding as we make the much needed improvements to your street and utilities. Please do not hesitate to contact our Engineering Department with any questions or concerns. We can’t help if we don’t know.
