Box 66 <br />Crystal Bay, MN 55323-0066 <br />Re: Joint Orono/Plymouth <br />Ferndale Road North Improvements <br />County Road 6 to Trunk Highway 12 <br />Dear Resident: <br />On April 6, the Plymouth City Council awarded a contract for the reconstruction of Ferndale Road <br />North from County Road 6 to Trunk Highway 12 to S. M. Hentges & Sons, Inc. On April 20, a <br />preconstruction conference was held with the contractor. City representatives, and the utility <br />companies to coordinate the construction activity including any necessary utility relocation. Work <br />is scheduled to begin the week of May 3, 1999. <br />Construction will commence with minor clearing and grubbing of trees that will need to be removed <br />within the construction limits of the project. Storm sewer installation will then begin near the Trunk <br />Highway 12 bridge and proceed northerly. Street excavation, base preparation, curb and gutter, <br />paving, trail construction and restoration will follow. The scheduled completion date for the project <br />is September 15, 1999, depending on "normal" weather conditions. <br />During construction of the street and storm sewer, there will be traffic delays. The contractor <br />intends to reconstruct the east and west halves of the roadway independently of each other. This will <br />allow for a single through lane for vehicles past the construction on a limited basis as construction <br />traffic will also be using this lane. Depending on the extent and location of the construction activity, <br />local traffic will be routed either north to County Road 6 or south to Wayzata Boulevard during the <br />construction day. While the roadway will be signed "No Through Traffic," it will have two lanes <br />available for local traffic at the end of each construction day. <br />If you have any questions, please contact the onsite Construction Inspector, Leo Pawelsky, at (651) <br />604-4804 or myself at (612) 249-4621. Also, please use extreme caution while traveling on <br />Ferndale Road North while construction activity is underway and if you have childr en, please direct <br />them to stay away from the construction area. <br />ffincerely, <br />!gory A.
