R-3 <br /> <br />SECTION 2 <br />PAVEMENT REHABILITATION <br /> <br /> <br />2.1 BACKGROUND <br /> <br />Fox Street carries local traffic east-west from the East limits of Orono ( Orono <br />Orchard Road) to Stubbs Bay Road, just west of Leaf Street. The proposed <br />projects would rehabilitate Fox Street from Orono Orchard Road to Old Crystal <br />Bay Road. The portion from Willow Drive to Brown Road is designated as a <br />Municipal State Aid Street. The existing street varies in width from 20-feet to <br />25-feet, but is generally 22-feet wide. The bituminous varies in depth from 4- <br />inches to 18.75-inches, with aggregate base varying from none to 4-feet below <br />the pavement surface. The areas with the thickest bituminous pavement section <br />vary, but are generally adjacent to the wetlands along Fox Street and indicate <br />full depth patching, or localized overlays from past pavement distresses or <br />settlement. The street section in this area is rural, and stormwater is conveyed <br />through adjacent ditches and culverts. There are a number of culverts that cross <br />and parallel Fox Street, as well as a box culvert where Fox Street crosses Long <br />Lake Creek. There are no other utilities located under the pavement. <br /> <br />Soil borings were performed by American Engineering and Testing at various <br />locations to determine the pavement and subgrade thickness. The full report is <br />attached in Appendix A. <br /> <br />2.2 PROPOSED STREET IMPROVEMENTS <br /> <br />For the purposes of this report, and the ease of cost analysis, Fox Street is <br />broken into three sections that reflect likely project limits; as shown in Figure <br />No 1: <br /> <br /> Section A: Fox Street from Old Crystal Bay Road to Willow Drive <br /> Section B: Fox Street from Willow Drive to Brown Road <br />o (designated Municipal State Aid Route) <br /> Section C: Fox Street from Brown Road to Orono Orchard Road <br /> <br />After analysis of alternatives and review of the Geotechnical Report, as well as
