Traffic Signal Improvements at Three Intersections Along Grove Street

Contract # PW/06-03

This work will consists of installing new traffic signal equipment, traffic signal interconnect systems, cement concrete sidewalks, wheelchair ramps, granite curbing and other incidental work at the following intersections:

1. Grove Street @  Independence Drive, Beverly Road and Russett Road

2. Grove Street @ South Street

3. Grove Street @ Allandale Road

The construction  hours for this project are from 7:30 AM to 5:30 PM, Monday through Thursday.  There will be no construction activity on Fridays unless a holiday prevents work from being done earlier in the week.  The removal and installation of cement concrete sidewalks and granite curbing as well as the installation of traffic signal conduit, pull boxes and pole bases will be conducted in manageable segments.  This work will take approximately 4-6 weeks. There will be an eight week layover as the signal equipment is ordered and installed.  The installation of the new signal equipment will take approximately 6 days.

Public safety is of the utmost importance to the Engineering Division.   During construction hours we will have adequate police details, safety signage and barrels.  We will limit construction activity at the intersection of Beverly Road and Grove Street between the hours of 7:30 AM to 8:30 AM and again between the hours of 1:30 PM and 2:30 PM in order to facilitate the drop-off and pick-up of students. Once the sidewalks are excavated we will provide compacted ramps where the sidewalk construction activity begins and ends and also in front of all residential entrances.

This work is expected to be completed by December 2006
