Work will include the removal/replacement of existing asphalt surface, curb and gutter, and sidewalk in conjunction with addition of storm sewer and
improved drainage features within the City right-of-way. Work is expected to last two months (depending on the weather).

Project Plans I
Project Plans II

8/23/2010Storm sewer installation is nearly complete, with one run of pipe, one structure and a couple cross pipes remaining to be placed.  Drain tile, geotextile fabric, and rock now cover thru the N 11th St intersection.  With a little help from the weather, storm sewers should be completed this week and the remaining areas should be graded and covered.  Its important to note when dealing with the clay on this project that every time it rains, our crews are set back one to two days, sometimes more. 

7/30/2010Storm sewer installation is completed to N 11th St, with ½ block of N 11th and Banks from 11th to 12th remaining. We’ve had to make a few plan modifications to accommodate water lines and gas lines, but SWL&P has been working with us to make these adjustments. Tuesday nights rain floated two runs of pipe out of the ground and crews spent 2 days to repair the damage.

7/22/2010:  With the majority of the utility conflicts out of the way, storm sewer should be installed up to N 11th by the end of the week.  From there, ½ block on N 11th and the section from N 11th to N 12th will remain for storm sewer installation.  Fabric, rock, and gravel will resume to the South thru the Broadway intersection next week now that the storm sewer is installed.

7/15/2010:  Concrete has been removed over the majority of the project and will continue to N 12th in the near future.  Materials have been an issue as we continue to wait for a key storm sewer structure which will be placed in the Broadway intersection.  Once this structure is set, storm sewer installation will continue South along Broadway, and with excavation being completed ahead of the storm sewer work, the project should start shaping up rather quickly.

6/30/2010:  With only 7 days in June where we didn’t receive any precipitation, according to the National Weather Service, and 5.25 inches of rain for the month, 1.14 inches above normal, work has been slow but steady.  Storm sewer is installed from Winter to Banks and base material is nearly completed.  Work began in the Banks intersection with Broadway to complete the tie in with the outfalls for the Storm Sewer to the North.  Work on the section from Broadway to N 11th will begin soon.

6/17/2010:  Winter to Broadway ~ Concrete has been removed, gas lines lowered, water valves and existing manholes have been repaired. Despite the weather, excavation to sub-grade is nearly complete. New storm sewer has been delivered and installation should begin on Thurs. June 17th. Still hoping to have traffic using this section on gravel by Friday June 25th. At that point, the Broadway/Banks intersection will be removed and storm sewer structures installed.

6/10/2010:  Asphalt has been removed over the entire project area.  Winter to Broadway has been closed and concrete is being removed.  Removals should be completed by Friday. SWL&P will be installing a water valve within the project either Friday or Monday and storm sewer installation will begin once the removals are completed.  This section should be passable, weather permitting, by the end of next week.

6/3/2010: Activity has begun on this project. Peeling up asphalt and saw cutting at intersections has begun. Closures in blocks where work is occurring.

5/25/2010:  An informational meeting was held on May 25th at the BID Office
for the 62 businesses that will be most effected by the Banks Avenue reconstruction.
The project is set  to begin the first week of June.  The BID is working on having
signage made for each end of the project to direct traffic and inform people that
businesses will remain open during the entire construction phase.
