Project Profile:

Phase 2 of a 4 part Construction Program involves 4 Projects:

1. Asphalt paving of 47 Avenue (53-57 Street):

   This project is a carry over from 2001 and will involve the asphalt paving of 47^th Avenue, between 53^rd and 57^th Streets. This is the first stage of a two phase project to reconstruct this busy corridor.

2. Asphalt overlay of 47 Avenue (57 Street to Mount Pleasant Drive):

   This project is the second stage of a two phased project to reconstruct this busy corridor.  Asphalt failures on sections of roadway and poor riding comfort have prompted the City to initiate a local improvement to overlay the road surface with hot mix asphalt.

3. Roadway Re-construction of 55 Street (47-48 Avenue):

   The water main, and water and sewer service replacements were completed on this block last fall. We allow at least one freeze thaw cycle to assist in the trench settlements before constructing roadway surface improvements. The roadway project involves the excavation of the existing road base and backfill with road base gravel (completed last fall). The 2002 work involves the installation of new concrete curbs and sidewalks, asphalt paving and boulevard sod work. The City will host an open house for residents on 55^th Street in the Spring of 2002, to discuss the local improvement costs, project schedule and get input from property owners about existing problems such as drainage, access issues during construction, etc. 55^th Street will be closed to vehicle traffic during construction. Fortunately lanes provide an alternative access in these areas.

4. Roadway Re-construction of 57 Street (46-47 Avenue) and 46 Avenue (56-57 Street):

   The roadway project involves the excavation of the existing road base and backfill with road base gravel followed by the installation of new concrete curbs and sidewalks, asphalt paving and boulevard sod work.The City will host an open house for residents on 57^th Street in the Summer of 2002, to discuss local improvement costs, project scheduling and to receive input from property owners about existing problems such as drainage, access issues during construction, etc. 57^th Street and 46^th Avenue will be closed to vehicle traffic on a block by block basis during construction. Fortunately lanes provide an alternative access in these areas.
