Construction update - June 3 to June 14
The current plan for construction for the next two weeks.
- Monday, June 3 – Clean up and other small tasks in preparation for curb.
- Tuesday, June 4 – Layout the stringline for curb.
- Installation of stringline involves installing hundreds of metal rods connected to a string that guides the curb machine. The rods and string will block driveway access and could be a tripping hazard. Please be prepared to move around them.
- Wednesday, June 5 – Install curbs.
- June 6-7 - Form and pour new sidewalks, following behind curb.
- Concrete driveway aprons and restoration of concrete driveways following sidewalk installation.
- Asphalt in place by June 14.
Asphalt may or may not be feasible within the next two weeks. It is dependent on weather, progress of all previous tasks, and the schedule of the asphalt sub-contractor. Restoration of asphalt driveways, interlock driveways and topsoil/sod will be more than two weeks away.
Note: At the curb placement stage, vehicular access to driveways on evenings and weekends is interrupted for multiple days. Once curb is placed, it cannot be driven on for roughly 72 hours. Following curb placement, the contractor will form and pour sidewalks which starts the 72 hour clock again. Even though concrete cannot be driven on for 72 hours, it can be walked on by the morning after placement.
Please keep pets (especially cats) inside or on a leash during concrete placement. Concrete will not be replaced for aesthetic reasons such as cat prints in the finish.
Reminder: The contractor found Rogers cable wires running shallow through the boulevard which resulted in the wires being cut. At this stage, the probability of further strikes to Rogers service wires is low.
Residents frequently complain to the City regarding the wires strung through the trees after construction is finished. Please note that these wires are owned by Rogers and only they are permitted to re-bury them.
