The $11.9M Black Pearl/East Carrollton Group A project, which began construction in August 2020, continues to make significant progress. Construction contractor Hard Rock Construction Co., LLC has completed Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)-compliant curb ramps on Burdette, Fern, and Plum streets. Waterline and sewer line work continues on Short and Plum streets.  Utility work will continue in the coming months in addition to excavation, sidewalk and concrete work. The project is expected to be completed in spring 2022, weather permitting.

• Incidental Road Repairs: Removing damaged portions of the asphalt roadway and replace it with new smooth pavement; and
• Non-Paving Incidentals: Repairing damaged sidewalks, driveway aprons and curbs within the public right-of-way.
