What:
Holmes Road, Phase 2 reconstruction
When:
Beginning Wednesday, October 1, 2008
Where:
Holmes Road, Ford Blvd. to Midway Street
Why:
Concrete curb-gutter construction, driveway access limitations
Construction of the new concrete curb and gutter along the north and south sides of Holmes Road, between Ford Boulevard and Midway Street, is scheduled to begin on Wednesday, October 1st. Weather permitting, the placement of the curb and gutter is expected to be completed by Thursday, October 2nd. To attain sufficient strength to carry vehicle loads, the newly placed concrete curb and gutter will require curing time, typically three to five (3-5) days.
Dan’s Excavating, the project prime contractor, has requested that south side residents park vehicles on a side street during the placement and curing of the south side curb. Vehicles should be parked on a side street no later than 7 AM on October 1st to avoid complications. Your cooperation in this regard will aid us in expediting the construction of the new curb and gutter.
Access for the north side shopping center will be maintained by providing a gap in the newly placed curb and gutter. However, due to the limited space available along the south side curb line, this is not possible for the south side residents.
In addition, concrete driveway approaches and sidewalks are to be constructed. The schedule for these activities is currently being discussed with the contractor. Residents may experience some inconvenience during these operations, again due to the necessary concrete curing time.
As needed, we will gladly assist residents who require driveway access due to unexpected issues that may arise during the curing of the concrete. As always, emergency vehicles will continue to have immediate access to residences.
