Activity continues in the Phase 1 and Phase 2 construction areas. DOT Project Engineer, Karla Knorr has reported that masonry contractor, Trierweiler Construction is continuing with sidewalk and colored concrete handicapped ramp installations in the Phase 1 construction area.

Another concrete activity that was initiated yesterday afternoon in the 300 block of East Lake Street was the installation of the colored (waterfowl or cattail) sidewalk stampings. Colored sidewalk stamping activity will continue in a westerly direction on Lake Street. In addition, some of the upright electrical bollards have been installed at some of the downtown intersections.

Some of the Phase 1 street signage may be erected next week coupled with some initial topsoil/landscape activity.

Most individual sewer and water lateral tie-ins in the Phase 2 construction area have been completed……..the only exception is an area under the Highway Street railroad tracks between Barstow Street and Main Street. That section will be completed sometime next week.

Two James Peterson Sons crews are also continuing to install storm drain/sewer in the Phase 2 area and a crew has begun to install breaker rock and base course stone between Columbia Street and Huron Street. This work will continue next week.

There will be a Lake and Vine Street intersection closure (Week of July 27 and Week of August 03). Details will be posted as we receive them.
