– Additional curbing added to more effectively define gutter lines and eliminate ponding

– Cleaning and flushing of existing pipes / structures to remain

Construction

• Construction anticipated to begin Spring 2014

• Traffic during construction will consist of a standard 1 lane closure with alternating traffic
