A concrete sidewalk <br />is also being constmcted within the City of Wayzata <br />from the Highway 12 bridge to the Luce Line Trail. <br />Construction is scheduled to be completed by <br />September 15, 1999. The road contractor for the <br />Femdale Road project is S.M. Hentges and Sons, <br />Inc. of Jordan, MN. <br />What Has Been Done <br />Since the May 18 letter mailed to residents in the <br />Ferndale Road project area, the contractor has <br />completed all of the storm sewer pipe work and <br />installed sanitary sewer north of n'** Avenue to <br />serve the St. Edwards Episcopal Church within the <br />City of Orono. Watermain connections also have <br />been completed to serve St. Edwards Episcopal <br />Church and the Ferndale Place development north <br />of n*** Avenue. Minnegasco also has installed some <br />new gas main. U.S. West has been installing some <br />new telephone lines which needed to be relocated <br />because of the new storm sewer. <br />What Needs To Be Done <br />Tentatively beginning Tuesday, June 15, the <br />contractor will be starting roadway excavations at <br />the south end of Femdale Road near the Highway <br />12 bridge. This work consists of removing the <br />existing roadway materials down to approximately <br />2-feet below the new surface of the proposed <br />roadway. The excavated material will be trucked <br />off-site and traffic delays can be expected. As the <br />contractor continues northerly, sand will be placed <br />in the roadbed and capped with a rock surface. This <br />operation will continue up to County Road 6. <br />Roadway excavation is expected to take four to five <br />weeks to complete. The next step will be to place <br />new concrete curb and gutter, retaining walls, a 3- <br />inch bituminous surface between the concrete curb <br />and gutter and paving of the trail. Finally, the <br />boulevard ?reas will be restored with seed and sod <br />followed by the final layer of blacktop on the <br />roadway. <br />Caution <br />Please do not drive through the areas still under <br />constmction if at all possible. For residents in the <br />Ferndale North area, please use Brockton Lane to <br />get to either County Road 6 or Wayzata Boulevard. <br />If it is necessary to drive through an area where <br />work is in progress, please use extreme caution and <br />watch for workers and engineering personnel. Also, <br />please explain to your children that for their own <br />safety they should keep away from the construction <br />area and the large, heavy equipment. <br />Project Hotline <br />The City of Plymouth has initiated a telephone <br />hotline for people who want daily updates.
