This newsletter is to inform residents within the area of the proposed construction schedule and progress. Proposed Construction . The project involves the reconstruction of Highland Road from Proctor to Jackson to a 32 foot wide urban section with curb and gutter, a 6 foot concrete walk on the north side of the road and a 10 foot bituminous trail along the south side of the road. Sanitary sewer will be installed along the length of the road and sewer and water services extended to the right of way for future connection by homeowners in the future when they wish to do so. Tentative Schedule The Contractor anticipates beginning the project on Monday July 10, 2006. At that time the bituminous road will be milled. The road will be closed to all thru traffic. Access will be maintained for residents at all times. The Contractor will start construction of the project on the east end installing sanitary sewer which ranges in depth from 10 to 20 feet. Once the sewer is installed the water and sanitary services will be extended to the right of way line. Storm sewer will be installed next and finally curb and gutter, pavement, trail and sidewalk. The project schedule includes an interim competition date for traffic to be restored /' along Highland Road from Jackson Street to Salk School by the time school starts II;jfjI;'l and substantial completion of the construction by the end of October 2006. The final '. , lift of pavement will be placed in 2007. As with any construction work, the schedule and completion of the project will be somewhat dependent on the weather. We ask for your patience with weather delays throughout this project. Sewer and Water Service Locations As part of the contract we will extend sewer and water services to the right of way line for each home along Highland Road. The sanitary sewer service is a 4" PVC pipe and the water service is a 1" copper pipe. In order to facilitate future connection to your private plumbing please take a look at the plumbing inside your home and determine a location along the right of way you would like to have the service extended to. You may wish to contact a sewer and water contractor and get recommendations for this location. The Project Inspector will be providing wooden stakes painted blue and green to each property to place indicating your preference. Keep in mind tree locations and other obstacles you may encounter in your yard when you place these stakes. ~ ~~c~~~~~~
