<br />Dear Cathy,
<br />I am writing.inr~~ds to the proposed re-routing of traffic on Jackson Avenue to allow
<br />erection of precast concrete for the Jackson Place building, and to address construction limits, schedule
<br />and staging issues. ..
<br />Construction Li1l!!~: Please :find attached a sketch of the proposed temporary change in the
<br />consttuction limits: Along Jackson Avenue, you'll notice that the southerly two-thirds of the
<br />construction fen~'~oul~move west to provide operating space for the crane, plus the required safety
<br />margin between the cran~'and the foundation wall. The northern third of the Jackson Avenue fence
<br />would remain 1J19ha.pg~ as would the fence on the south, east and north sides. This design preserves
<br />one-way, southboUnd tX8.:ffic on Jackson Avenue. It also preserves one handicapped parking space and
<br />three regular spaces. '(P~ase note that background drawing I used to make this sketch does not show
<br />the location ofth;eangl,.e4,parking spaces accurately. Though it appears that a total of :five spaces
<br />>,,,,,.,","(l''\l.'
<br />would be preserved, in reahty it would be four.)
<br />Schedule~ The duration of the re-route would be 20 working days. This includes one day to
<br />move the fence, 1 5 "day~Jor precast erection, three days for masonry and one day to move the fence
<br />back to its,on,ginallocat1Qn. Our target date for commencement is October 30. We will update that
<br />schedule in tile next weelc iUld hope to be able to set a finn date at our September 27 meeting with city
<br />staff
<br />
<br />.. ,.,1 ,.'\'f.~;,~:;'~'
<br />Staging:froqlT~f~tbound Main Street, trucks would enter the site at the southeast gate and
<br />wait withinthe;<:~ns~,?,&:n limits. A few trucks would be unloaded from this location. The majority,
<br />however, would l>tlll~~~}Urrough the southwest gate onto Main Street, then back up into the
<br />construction .area .QIlJa9'kson, adjacent to the crane. When empty, they would leave downtown via
<br />i, '"\i',',,,!,O;, ,1' :, ':;"":~"<'"
<br />westbound Main S~~")~d Proctor Avenue. We will provide flaggers to control traffic during these
<br />operatipns. . , ''''.i;'
<br />
<br />Thank YQU for''Ygtking with us as we developed this plan.
<br />
<br />SinCerely,
