Anew <br />reject will <br />motorists <br />3rono and <br />)roject. <br />To; Mayor Gabriel Jab^ur and City Council Members <br />From: Greg Gappa <br />Subject; Schedule for Stubbs Bay Road Cul-de-Sac Project. <br />The contract for this project was awarded at the last Council meeting. The preconstruction meeting <br />with the contractor was held Friday, October 1 1th. The proposed schedule for this project is for <br />installation of advance warning signs Tuesday, October 12th. These signs will state that Wednesday, <br />October 20th the Highway 12 intersection will be closed. On October 20th, barricades will be <br />installed closing the intersection. At this time, the striping changes on highway 12 will also be <br />made. Construction of the cul-de-sac will begin after installation of the barricades. A crushed rock <br />surface cul-de-sac will be constructed this fall. <br />The reclaiming and paving of Stubbs Bay Road, north of Watertown Road, will be completed early <br />next summer with a final completion date of June 15, 2000. Because of the late time in the <br />construction season, we have decided that the most prudent schedule would to wait until next year <br />to complete the reclaiming and paving. We are concerned that if this work is started now, and the <br />weather turns bad the project may not get completed this fall. It would be a major problem to have <br />a reclaimed road, without pavement, throughout the winter. This would be a continual maintenance <br />problem and could result in damage to road base. <br />Another factor is that construction of the new road for the Jacobs Mill subdivision is planned for this <br />fall. Hauling in the crushed rock materials, for the subdivision road, during the reclamation project <br />could result in damage to Stubbs Bay Road. The best method would be for completion of the <br />subdivision road work this fall. Stubbs Bay Road can then be reclaimed and paved next summer after <br />the heavy truck hauling has been completed.
