<br /> h`` <br /> i <br /> ~ ~ ~ <br /> August 17, 1992 <br /> SUBJECT: REPAIRS SCHEDULED FOR YOUR STREET (Job # 2804) <br /> Each yea the Eugene Public Works Department overlays city streets that have <br /> been ide tified for preservation in the adopted Eugene Capital Improvement <br /> Program CIP). Streets needing repair are identified and prioritized through <br /> a paveme t management program that rates the condition of city streets. <br /> Your str et was one of 11 streets targeted for maintenance. The overlay <br /> projects will begin Tuesday, August 18, and will take about 2-1/2 months to <br /> complete Repairs are scheduled in the following order: <br /> 4th ve. from 200 feet east of Lincoln St. to Washington St. <br /> tails n Court from 14th Ave. to Wilson St. <br /> tails n St. from 14th Ave. to 18th Ave. <br /> McKi ley St. from 14th Ave. to 18th Ave. <br /> McKi ley Court from 14th Ave. to McKinley St. <br /> Alma en St. from 7th Ave. to 11th Ave. <br /> 21st Ave from City View to 1,100 feet west <br /> Center Way from East Amazon Dr. to Martin St. <br /> 20th Ave. from University St. to Agate St. <br /> 28th Ave. from Alder St. to University St. <br /> Via uct at the Coburg Road and 6th Ave. off-ramp <br /> Eugene and and Gravel is contractor for the work. Funds are provided <br /> through gas tax receipts, so there is no direct cost to adjacent property <br /> owners. <br /> The wor will occur in several stages. First, a portion of the existing <br /> street urface will be ground off (rotomilled). Next, any areas with pot <br /> holes o sunken spots will be dug out. Finally, the street will be repaved <br /> and res riped if appropriate. <br /> Constru tion hours usually run from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Friday, <br /> but the contractor may work from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m, to ensure streets can be <br /> reopene each evening. During construction, the road will be closed to <br /> through traffic. One lane of traffic will be maintained where possible for <br /> area re idents; however, some delays may occur and driveways may be blocked <br /> for sho t periods of time. Streets will be posted with "No Parking" signs. <br /> The lif of a street can be greatly extended through timely maintenance. <br /> Catchin problems when they are small and easily corrected is the most <br /> cost-ef ective time to make repairs. Each dollar spent on simple repairs <br /> when th pavement begins to deteriorate saves the community the $4 or $5 a <br /> square and it would cost for a major reconstruction. <br /> <br />
