About the Project
The current project area is along North College Drive between Richard Drive and just past Aquarius Place.
Aging infrastructure in this area has led to several water main leaks along N. College Dr, degrading the roadway over the years. This project is a collaboration between the Utilities and Streets divisions of the Public Works Department to replace the water, sanitary sewer, and stormwater systems at the same time as redesigning the roadway to include traffic calming measures and new curb, gutter and sidewalks, and pavement on N. College Dr. This project is years in the making to ensure all planning was in place so the roadway is only disturbed once.
Maintaining traffic flow on N. College Dr will evolve throughout the course of the project but will mostly include alternating one-way traffic, using flaggers during working hours.
Working hours will be from 7:30am to 5:00pm Monday through Friday. Work will only take place outside of these hours for emergencies or extenuating circumstances.
The water system improvements will happen first, replacing the water main running under N. College Dr, and replacing, repairing and adding water valves. Scheduled water service interruptions are planned and residents will have notice prior to interruptions via door hanger notifications and direct email contact from the Project Manager.
After the water system improvements are complete, the focus will shift to repair and replacement of the sanitary sewer and stormwater systems. Once the underground infrastructure components are complete, next will be the installation of traffic calming features, replacement of curb, gutter and sidewalks, and the repaving of N. College Dr.
Construction equipment and materials will be staged at a City-owned parcel at the end of Willow Pl, and along the public right-of-way near the bottom of N. College Dr, just above Richard Dr.
