Hi All!!
It’s been crazy busy…there’s a lot going on out there…so much I haven’t had time to update you about everything that’s going on out there 😉
ESRS
Bon Air is being undercut and stoned and underdrain is being installed this week in preparation for concrete work next week (curbs). The diversion chamber (the underground concrete chamber in the front yard of Constellation School) is now connected to the sewer main on Abbe Rd.
I want to thank the residents on Abbe near Poplar for putting up with the pumps that were bypass pumping around the sewer section which was eventually connected to the new chamber. Your patience and fortitude is much appreciated!
We are getting pretty close to installing the big pipe at Longfellow where we will stop and take a break before starting the next phase. Due to the proximity of the excavation to Longfellow and the number of trucks needed to accommodate the Big Monster, the intersection of Poplar & Longfellow is closed to through traffic…and it’s also why the trucks are stacked on Poplar waiting their turn to get loaded/unloaded. Please use EXTREME CAUTION when maneuvering down Poplar or making turns onto side streets with trucks on the roadway. Work is progressing! There is a light at the end of this phase of the Big Sewer Project.
IN OTHER NEWS
This City is torn up!!! = “PROGRESS”
City Resurfacing Phase 2: All asphalt work is completed. Concrete work continues (curb ramps, casting adjustments)
City Resurfacing Phase 1: (Yes, phase 2 started before phase 1…go figure). Milling the old asphalt off the roads started with week. When all the streets are milled, the placement of the new asphalt will begin which is hopefully within the next week or two.
ISSUE 6 AT WORK: For a list of Issue 6 City Resurfacing streets, here’s the link:https://www.cityofelyria.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/2020-Street-Resurfacing-Phase-1-vs-2.pdf
Abbe Resurfacing: Resurfacing of Abbe between Cleveland and the railroad tracks was smooth sailing.
East Avenue Watermain and Sewer Work: The water and sewer work is done for the most part. New conduit, wiring and street lighting will be placed along the new library site along with new sidewalks.
West and Lake Ave: This project continues to linger around….we’re waiting for more equipment to arrive to finish the traffic signal work between W River and 2nd Street.
W River Watermain and Sewer: This project has the roadway closed between Lake & Furnace for new watermain and sewer replacement. Once this section is completed which will be a few months, the road closure will move to Furnace and SR57.
Chestnut Connector Road: The road between Chestnut Ridge and E Broad Street is almost complete. It won’t be long before traffic will be able to use it be avoid the congestion at SR57/Chestnut Ridge.
South Park Trail: This project will install a new walking/biking trail through the park. It will begin next month and be completed this year.
MY PSA for the Day
With schools in session, please pay attention to school zones and your speed!
Maintenance of sanitary and storm laterals are the responsibility of the property owner. If tree roots are engaging the lateral even under the street, it is the property owner’s responsibility to root cut that lateral all the way to the sewer main.
I apologize for not updating sooner. As you can see above, we’re keeping busy. I want to thank the residents that reply to these emails…I’m glad to see people are finding these tidbits useful. If you have any questions, comments, concerns, please let me know.
That’s it for today (I think that’s enough).
And as always, PLEASE DRIVE SAFELY!
